ABOUT THIS TRAINING COURSE
This five-day training course will cover aspects of FPSO operations with an
emphasis on management of safety. A background of the methodology used to
generate the various safety plans and codes used in the operational safety case
will be covered. The course will also review general operational guidelines in
the offshore environment to ensure that the operations are completed as
designed. This will include offtake operations and maintenance processes for the
plant and vessel as well as a session on subsea.
Training Objectives
To enable participants to obtain an in-depth understanding of FPSO operations,
safety and maintenance:
* Provide a broad overview of how an FPSO operation is set up and established
in the field
* Grasp the various methods used to moor the production units
* Analyse information and methods required to establish the operation according
to local and international regulations.
* Assess the methods used to calculate the safety parameters and requirements
to construct an approved valid safety case
* Explore conditions to monitor during operations with regards to safety and
structure
* Inspect various types of hazards associated with production and produced
materials
* Review regular and emergency operational maintenance requirements
* Examine cyclones and weather events causing disconnection
* Comprehend manning, training requirements and operations including cargo
Case studies and Exercises: The training course uses real life examples and case
studies to explain the setup, preparation, implementation and operational
activities required to successfully complete FPSO operations from a safety and
maintenance perspective. This will allow the application of participants'
newly-acquired knowledge. Case studies also stimulate independent thinking and
discussion among the participants.
Case Studies
The case studies proposed for this course will include:
* A group exercise to consider what is the minimum requirement for the
production of a safety case
* Generic plan for the development of a maintenance management system using
computer software systems (e.g. Amos)
* Construction of a UWILD plan to include scope and potential tendering
requirements
Quizzes
The various quizzes can be expanded or arranged to suit the group/interests and
topics covered but will generally include the following topics:
* Mooring types and location where they are primarily used
* Safety cases
* Safety management systems
* Process hazards and mitigation
* UWILD components and regulations
* Operations management
* Offtake operations
Target Audience
The course is generally aimed at personnel who are involved in FPSO operations
as either offshore crew or onshore support team members. This course will also
greatly benefit the following groups but not limited to:
* Process engineers
* Surveyors
* Facility engineers
* Naval architects
* Operations engineer
* Health, Safety, Environment (HSE) specialists and managers
* Maintenance engineers
Course Level
* Intermediate
Training Methods
The training course is presented in an interactive workshop format that allows
for discussion. The course will be delivered through analysis of case studies
and running examples of problems.
Course Duration: 5 days in total (35 hours)
The training instructor relies on a highly interactive training method to
enhance the learning process. This method ensures that all participants gain a
complete understanding of all the topics covered. The training comprises of
information supplemented by visual activities including photographs from various
operations and videos of operational and safety activities. Interaction verbally
will be necessary to achieve the best learning outcome from the materials.
