Introduction

The majority of current and future offshore oil and gas explorations are conducted in deep waters. Offshore and subsea pipelines are a major asset in most offshore Oil & Gas operators. Ensuring its functionality, durability and effectiveness is a paramount operation and business requirement.

This GLOMACS Fundamentals of Offshore pipeline Engineering training course identifies all subsea pipeline project phases including the design, fabrication, installation, inspection, maintenance, repair, and integrity management. The training course focuses mainly on offshore pipelines. 

This 5-Day training course has been designed to cover all life cycle oil and gas offshore pipeline projects. This training course will give you the international insight of the subsea pipeline industry to enable you to retain your talent in order to ensure sustainable career growth.  This is essential development for those who need to develop their knowledge and skills related to subsea pipeline design, installation, inspection and management.

This training course will highlight:

  • Offshore pipeline design
  • Fabrication and installation of subsea pipelines
  • Pipeline inspection and repair
  • Threats to integrity and safety
  • Integrity management and maintenance of offshore pipeline
  • Offshore pipeline installation and inspection challenges
  • Umbilical, risers and flowlines design and installation
  • Facility interface such as FPSO and FLNG

Objectives

This training course will help participants understand different aspects of offshore pipelines, risers and flowlines design, fabrication, installation, integrity, inspection, maintenance, and repair.  By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

  • Maximize the economic value of the company by improving the knowledge of its employees about the design, installation, inspection, and repair of subsea pipelines
  • Learn about offshore pipeline maintenance and integrity management
  • Understand how offshore pipelines are designed
  • Learn about the challenges of offshore pipeline installation
  • Appreciate the different techniques of subsea pipeline inspection and repair
  • Learn about offshore pipeline integrity management
  • Learn how subsea pipelines and systems are connected to floating facilities

Training Methodology

This 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 training courses 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, lessons learnt from the work domain. This adds greater relevancy to the content.

Organisational Impact

This training course will effectively impact the organization by increasing the service life of its offshore pipeline projects, reduce the maintenance and operations cost and minimize the safety, environmental and business risks. The training course will further consolidate the following:

  • Requirements for offshore pipeline design and construction
  • Offshore pipeline integrity management
  • Protection, inspection, repair and maintenance of pipelines
  • Interface facility such as FPSO and FLNG

Personal Impact

Upon successful completion of the online training course, participants will be able to comprehend and effectively manage the challenges or obstacles encountered during the development of offshore pipeline projects within their organizations.

This training course is very comprehensive and will address all phases of pipeline life cycle so that participants of any engineering discipline will have a rounded knowledge of the oil and gas subsea pipeline industry.
