Pipeline Technology

Pipelines are a major asset in most Oil & Gas operators’ projects. Ensuring pipeline functionality and effectiveness is a paramount operation and business requirement.

Many problems occur during the operation of pipelines. Monitoring the health of pipelines during operation is very important to maintain the required pipeline lifetime. New technologies have been developed to monitor the pipeline health as part of pipeline integrity management. A sound monitoring system will help pipeline operators to improve their maintenance programs.

This Pipeline Technology training course will highlight:

• The main Pipeline Operation and Maintenance Problems
• Pipeline Inspection and Testing Technology
• Technologies used to monitor the pipeline health
• Case Studies illustrating different Pipeline Inspection and Monitoring Methodologies
• Integrity and Maintenance of Pipelines

This PetroKnowledge training course will help participants understand the main problems that occur during pipelines operation and different technologies used to monitor the health & threats of oil and gas pipelines. The participants will understand how these technologies will affect the maintenance program.

By the end of this Pipeline Technology training course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the main problems during pipeline operation
• Appreciate different techniques for pipeline inspection and technology
• Learn about some case studies of pipeline problems during operation
• Understand the threats to pipeline integrity
• Appreciate how to improve the maintenance of oil and gas pipelines

This Pipeline Technology  training course is suitable for a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

• Pipeline Engineers who want to expand their knowledge in the pipeline industry
• Engineers working in oil & gas integrity departments
• Project Engineers
• Operation and Maintenance Engineers and Technicians
• Engineers from all disciplines who are new to the pipeline industry
• Managers and Executives who are new to the pipeline industry

This Pipeline Technology training course will utilize a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension, and retention of the information presented including:

• Course Manual
• PowerPoint Presentations
• Videos
• Competency assurance tests including pre-assessment and post-assessment tests

The daily session will be highly interactive and participative. This involves regular discussion of applications as well as hands-on exposure to techniques using examples from case studies and real projects. Delegates are strongly encouraged to bring and share their own experiences and lessons learnt from the work domain. This adds greater relevancy to the content.

This Pipeline Technology training course will effectively impact the organization by understanding the different technologies of monitoring pipeline health and how this will affect the organization maintenance programs. The course will further consolidate the following:

• Main problems during pipeline operation and how to avoid or reduce them
• Old and new technologies used to monitor the health of pipelines
• Main techniques used to test pipeline integrity
• Pipeline maintenance and repair
• Case studies illustrating different technologies for pipeline inspection

Upon successful completion of this PetroKnowledge training course, participants will be able to comprehend and effectively manage the challenges and risks encountered during the development and operation of pipeline projects within their organizations.

The Pipeline Technology training course is very comprehensive and will address the inspection methodologies and risk-based inspection for pipelines so that participants of any engineering discipline will have a rounded knowledge about oil and gas pipeline risk.
