Why Choose this Training Course?
Why Choose this Training Course?
The success of subsea oil & gas management and production depends largely on the control and communication systems that enable their operations. Although some components of subsea oil & gas production are similar or are the same as their onshore counterparts, other components are different or used in a different manner that warrants a comprehensive coverage. This PetroKnowledge training course will cover the control and communication aspects of the subsea oil & gas production infrastructure. Participation in this course will enable attendees to develop skills and apply the knowledge obtained to improve their performance at their workplace.
This PetroKnowledge training course will start with a high-level description of the subsea production system and its architecture. The course then covers the control systems followed by the communication protocols and networks used at the topside and subsea. The training course concludes with coverage of standardized subsea solutions.
This PetroKnowledge training course will highlight:
- Monitoring, Control, and Communications in subsea production systems
- Subsea control system flow
- Distributed Control System/Integrated Control and Safety System DCS/ICSS
- Master Control System and Subsea Power and Communication Unit (MCS and SPCU)
- Subsea Control Module and Subsea Electronic Module (SCM and SEM)
- Sensors and Actuators
- Topside Communication Solutions
- Subsea Communication Solutions
- Standardized Subsea Solutions: IWIS, SIIS, SEFOM, MDIS, SWiG
