Intelligent Pigging and Mechanical Cleaning of Offshore and Onshore Pipelines

Mechanical, Maintenance & Reliability · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 3,900

Overview

This Intelligent Pigging & Mechanical Cleaning of offshore & Onshore Pipelines training course consolidates the fundamental knowledge and experiences required by pipeline operators to ensure the pipeline network is well maintained throughout the design life and beyond. The training course bridges the gap between the theoretical and practical understanding of the pipeline safe operation requirements and integrates the operation, inspection, and monitoring and maintenance activities within a robust framework that can be easily communicated and implemented.

Learning Objectives

• Pigging of pipelines whether it is for cleaning purposes or for defect identification/assessment is vital to ensure that the integrity and reliability of pipelines is effectively managed throughout its entire life cycle from design through to decommissioning. Lessons learned from previous failures emphasize that routine cleaning of pipelines at a reasonable frequency is vital to ensure the pipeline health and to avoid unlikely events of failure and subsequent hydrocarbon release.

Who Should Attend

The target audiences are staff engaged in the design, construction, commissioning and operation of pipelines and associated facilities. This training course is suitable for a wide range of professionals and will greatly benefit: Pipelines Maintenance/ Inspection/Repair Engineers Pipelines design and construction Specialists Oil & Gas Operation & Production Engineers Corrosion, Inspection and Integrity Engineers
