Offshore Facilities Fundamentals: Offshore, FPSOs and Subsea
Marine & Offshore · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 3,900
Overview
This course provides a comprehensive overview of the upstream oil and gas facilities associated with offshore developments, from shallow to ultra-deepwater depths, including subsea and FPSOs and how they are integrated into full field developments from the wellbore to product export and delivery.
Learning Objectives
To gain a comprehensive overview of the upstream oil and gas facilities associated with onshore, offshore, shallow to ultradeep water depths, FPSO and subsea developments
To understand how the different components are integrated into full field developments from the wellbore to product export and delivery
