Offshore Production Facilities: Design and Selection Criteria for Field Development

Marine & Offshore · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 3,900

Overview

Offshore Production Engineering Course provides an overview of all of the functionalities and key interfaces of subsea equipment. The course will refer to relevant industry engineering standards for subsea equipment, subsea tie-backs and critical operational requirements. The sessions will cover challenges associated with equipment design and install-ability. The primary learning objectives for this course are met through a combination of interactive presentations, discussion and exercises.

Learning Objectives

• Apply the requirements of related industry standards (API 6A/ 17D, API 17A etc.) engineering standards
• Understand the barrier and qualification requirements
• Identify the barriers in place given a specific mode of operation
• Evaluate and select which tree alternatives are valid based on the key design drivers
• Identify and describe the key design drivers
• Explain the importance of well kill rate
• Describe which tree alternatives are valid for certain scenarios based on an evaluation of the key tree design requirements
• Examine what effects subsurface requirements may have on a tree design
• Understand the challenges associated with designing equipment for manufacturability and installability
• Recognize the implications of design changes to specific components and the effects on transportation and installation (such as what type of vessels, lifting equipment, and tools to use and the logistical requirements)
• Recognize the implication of design changes on the manufacturability of offshore equipment

Frequently Asked Questions

What do Al-Khobraa marine and offshore courses cover?

The portfolio covers offshore safety and survival, marine and vessel operations, dynamic positioning, port and terminal operations, marine cargo handling, offshore installation and rig operations, and marine inspection and maintenance — aligned with international maritime standards.

Who should attend a marine or offshore course?

These courses suit marine and offshore engineers, vessel and rig crews, port and terminal operations staff, marine superintendents and surveyors, offshore HSE personnel, and logistics or contractor teams supporting offshore installations.

How long are marine and offshore courses, and where are they held?

Most Al-Khobraa marine and offshore courses run over 5 days. The exact duration, dates and city for this course are listed in the dates section on this page. Public sessions run across Saudi Arabia — Riyadh, Jeddah, Al-Khobar, Jubail and Yanbu — as well as regional and international venues, with live virtual classrooms available on request.

What certificate will I receive?

Delegates who complete the course receive an Al-Khobraa certificate of completion, issued by a Saudi-registered training provider. Al-Khobraa also delivers internationally accredited programmes; where a course carries an external awarding body such as PMI, CIPS, ILM or IOSH, that body is named on the course's own page.

Can marine and offshore training be delivered in-house for our team?

Yes. Any Al-Khobraa marine and offshore course can be delivered in-house at your own premises anywhere in Saudi Arabia or the GCC, with the content, dates and language of delivery tailored to your team. Al-Khobraa is an approved HRDF (Hadaf) provider, so eligible Saudi employers can seek training support. Contact us for a quotation.
