The main facets of offshore pipeline system design, construction, and operation are covered in this rigorous 5-day foundation level course. The course covers the design and construction of pipelines with an emphasis on mechanical strength and stability. This course includes specific difficulties such coastline crossings, foreign pipeline crossings, repair techniques, flow assurance, corrosion control, and cathodic protection. The information and abilities necessary for pipeline design, construction, and operation will be acquired by participants. This course includes both group projects and design issues.

Course Objectives:

How To:

Apply mechanical, strength, and physical principles to pipeline design, material selection, construction, and operation
Describe the key construction methods
Define the importance of environmental conditions, construction methods, and pipeline system hydraulics in design, installation, and operations of offshore pipeline systems
Identify special design and construction challenges of offshore pipeline systems
Incorporate construction methods into the design of a pipeline system
Identify the principal interfaces of pipeline facilities, such as platforms, floating production systems, subsea wellheads, and SPMs on design, construction, and operations of offshore pipeline systems
Identify offshore safety and environmental practices and their effect on design, construction, and operations

Who Should Attend?

Engineers, designers, and operators who are actively involved in the design, specification, construction, and operation of offshore pipeline systems.

Course Outlines:

Overview of oil and gas transportation systems
Review pipeline hydraulics, focusing on those aspects that affect design, construction, and operations
Pipeline systems definition, survey, and route selection
Safety, environmental, and regulatory considerations, focusing on Codes and Standards related to pipelines
Pipeline conceptual and mechanical design for strength, stability and constructability
Pipeline materials and components selection including line pipe, corrosion and cathodic protection, and coatings
Specialized equipment and materials for integrating with subsea wellhead/manifold systems, side taps, insulation, and pipe-in-pipe
Special design and construction considerations for risers and umbilicals, foreign pipeline crossings, single point moorings, and shore approaches
Introduction to flow assurance considerations and pipeline integrity aspects including in-line inspection, leak detection and emergency planning considerations
Pipeline operations, maintenance and repair considerations and their impact on design and material selection
