In a sector as critical as oil and gas, training must be comprehensive, practical, and up-to-date. Our Production Processing and Emergency Systems on Oil and Gas Installations course is designed to give you a mastery of the industry, covering the complete lifecycle of an installation from start to finish.
A Full-Spectrum Learning Experience
What sets this course apart is its comprehensive scope, exploring the principles and details of production processing across the entire value chain.
- From the Reservoir: We delve into the characteristics of various oil/gas reservoirs, the nature of the fluids produced, hydrocarbon chemistry, and reservoir characteristics.
- Through the Installation: The course explores primary processing steps like Oil and Gas Separation, Produced Water and Water Injection, and Gas Compression and Treatment. It includes hands-on workshops considering a conceptual production processing flow scheme.
- To Export and Offloading: We cover the critical area of disposal, including choices of processing routes, disposal issues for gas, water, and solids, and meeting export quality specifications.
Critical Focus on Safety and Systems
Safety is of paramount importance to an offshore facility. The course provides a comprehensive study of the nature and structure of the various safety systems which are integrated to provide complete protection for both the asset and personnel. Key topics include:
- Emergency Shutdown Systems (ESD): Understanding the difference between ESD and PCS, and examining inputs, outputs, logic, and cause and effect charts.
- Fire and Gas Systems: Covering detection selection philosophy, system architecture, control logic, and protection system components.
Training Built on Expertise and Innovation
This course has been extensively revised and refined over the 30 years that ESD Simulation Training has been delivering it, ensuring you receive the most current and relevant instruction.
- IChemE Accreditation: This program is part of the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) accredited training programs and has held this prestigious recognition for many years.
- Practical, Hands-on Learning: We use dynamic simulation models to deliver hands-on training that helps you make better decisions in operation, maintenance, and system design. The capacity to create real scenarios in real time provides an engaging learning environment and measurable results.
- Our Expert Faculty: The course is taught by our most experienced trainers—a highly qualified faculty of experienced engineers and operations professionals. Their depth of knowledge has won the trust and respect of over 40,000 delegates. This course is much liked and admired by those who attend it.
Who is This Course For?
This training is designed to fulfil the needs of a diverse group of professionals:
- Industry Newcomers: It is an essential foundation for anyone who has little or no previous experience of oil/gas processing, but whose work scope requires a good working knowledge of the industry.
- Process Personnel: It is perfect for those transferring from the downstream end of the oil industry into the primary production area.
- Industry Regulators: Engineers of all disciplines who have made a career move to the regulatory bodies which oversee the industry will find the course appealing.
