Oil and Gas

This two-day course is designed to teach operations personnel how to effectively troubleshoot problems on process plants. Solving problems quickly and effectively leads to increased productivity and saves money.

This intensive and interactive three-day course is designed to address the operation and control of coal seam gas processing plants.

We specialize in training control room operators using our state of the art PEARL simulator. It is portable so we can deliver the training at your location or ours. The courses are usually 4 or 5 days in duration and are highly intensive and 'hands-on'. We also offer shorter 'aptitude' courses where we help to assess the suitability of operators to move into the control room environment.

This two-day course uses dynamic simulation models to give a practical introduction to carbon dioxide, its application, characteristics, and carbon capturing technology. This course also covers the principles of gas compression when CO2 is the process medium, the selection of the correct type of compressor, the design of the compressor, how performance of the compressor is controlled and more.

This one-day course will better help delegates be able to identify opportunities for increasing plant performance and deliver that performance by the use of good control loop tuning techniques.

This three-day course offers a comprehensive study of distillation technology and provides an introduction to a variety of processes which employ this key unit operation.

This three-day course is aimed to satisfy the need for understanding the technical design and risk areas for a typical crude oil refining plant. The fundamentals of the oil refining process will be explained including the distillation process, hydrocarbon chain length modification processes, gas recovery treatment and sulphur removal processes. A key objective is to stress the safety and environmental risk areas and how those are mitigated with the technical design and strict procedures.

This three-day course has been designed to provide a comprehensive study into the subject of modern floating production systems. The subject matter is presented in a manner to reflect what might be considered a standard project development path and encompasses the areas of technology, engineering, project management and legislation.

This one-day course is intended to give a comprehensive overview of the nature and purpose of a floating production, storage and offtake system, commonly called an FPSO. In the business of offshore oil production, such systems have become very popular over the last 15 years and they are used throughout the world.

The LNG industry has a safety record of which it is justifiably proud. This has been achieved by a recognition that the product can be, if not handled correctly, extremely hazardous. By a combination of good design, high quality engineering, well-practiced procedures and a well trained workforce, the hazards are managed and risks are minimised. In developing the course the need to emphasise the safety aspects has been recognised and is covered to a suitable level.

This practical three-day course aims to satisfy the need for understanding the role LNG plays in the energy market.

This three-day natural gas compressor course will use dynamic simulation models to give a practical introduction to centrifugal gas compressors, their turbine drivers, and their operation within a typical gas compressor station. This course will include operating principles, mechanical design, and control strategies.

This intensive three-day natural gas processing training course is designed to address the operation and control of natural gas processing equipment for onshore fields.

This course gives a practical introduction to the principles of measurement and control of process plants. It is a hands-on course and participants will have the opportunity to explore the set-up and tuning of control loops using simulation and other computer-based training packages.

This intensive and interactive two-day course is designed to give a comprehensive study of the amine treatment process. The course explores the process from several different perspectives; what the plant is designed to do, how it does it, how it's designed, process controls and safeguards and conventional system start-up and shutdown. The topics are covered using a mix of short lectures, videos, dynamic simulation models and group workshops.

This two-day course is designed to provide a comprehensive study of the glycol dehydration process. The course explores the process from several different perspectives, including what the plant is designed to do, how it does it, the design of the equipment, how the process is controlled and safeguarded, and conventional start-up and shutdown operations. The topics are covered using a mix of short lectures, video, dynamic simulation and group workshops.

This intensive three-day course offers an introduction and comprehensive overview of production, processing and emergency systems on offshore facilities. The general trend is to make offshore processing as simple as possible while ensuring safety of personnel and assets.

This one-day course is perfect for all non-technical executives, whether involved directly within the oil and gas industry or in a supporting industry. Covering numerous topics from how reservoirs are formed through to the actual production phase, this course will provide all those without a technical background to have a better understanding of both reservoir engineering and drilling.

This two-day course is intended to provide a comprehensive study of subsea systems. The coverage will include the design of such systems, the equipment installed and how the system is monitored and controlled from the platform. The course assumes that the participants already have some understanding of petroleum production technology and a basic understanding of process control and safeguarding systems will also be an advantage.

This one-day course offers an overview of the subsea systems within the offshore oil and gas industry and is written and presented in a manner suitable for people of a non-technical background. By providing a better understanding of the subsea section of the industry, it will enable all those working within this section to offer more effective support to their technical colleagues.
