Pipeline Risk Assessment

The Oil & Gas offshore industry plays a demanding and critical role in steering and driving the global economy. Pipelines are a major asset in most Oil & Gas operators’ projects and ensuring its’ functionality and effectiveness is a paramount operation and business requirement.

Risk Management Techniques are fundamental decision support tools. Good knowledge about pipeline risk assessment and competencies of the project team members throughout the project operation phase are keys to the successful execution and implantation of these projects. Risk Management is increasingly being mandated by regulations. A Risk Assessment seems to be the highlight of every approval process and centerpiece of every pipeline litigation.

This PetroKnowledge Pipeline Risk Assessment training course will highlight:

• Fundamentals of pipeline design affecting pipeline risks
• Risk assessment tools and methodologies
• Operation aspects affecting pipeline risks
• Pipeline integrity management
• Pipeline risk based inspection
• Pipeline risk assessment case studies
• Different pipeline inspection and testing techniques

This training course will help participants understand pipeline risk assessment techniques and different factors that affect the risk on pipelines.

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

• Understand how pipeline design factors can affect risk
• Comprehend how operation factors can affect risk on pipelines
• Ability to choose from different risk assessment methodologies
• Understand Risk Based Inspection (RBI) of onshore and offshore pipelines
• Learn about pipeline integrity management
• Appreciate the different techniques of pipeline inspection and testing
• Learn about various case studies of pipeline risk assessment

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

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

This PetroKnowledge Pipeline Risk Assessment training course will utilise 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 sessions for this course 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 Risk Assessment training course will effectively impact the organization by increasing the service life of its pipeline projects. The training course will help the organization to reduce the maintenance and operations cost and minimize the Safety, Environmental and business risks.

The training course will further consolidate the following:

• Main requirements for pipeline design that affect risks
• Main operation aspects that affect pipeline risks
• Risk assessment tool and how they can be applied to pipelines
• Risk based inspection and how it can be applied to onshore and offshore pipelines
• Protection, inspection and testing of pipelines

Upon successful completion of this 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 Risk Assessment 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.
