ABOUT THIS TRAINING COURSE
This 5-days comprehensive training not only an introduction into the issue
associated with the development of oil and gas fields but also provides an in
depth understanding of the issues to be considered in the development of these
fields. The theme throughout this training course is Flow Assurance and
Innovative Technologies. Each day consists of lectures in the morning and a
hands-on workshop in the afternoon. The workshop allows the participants to
appreciate the design process associated with field developments. Various
software will be available during the workshop to predict Multiphase flows
through wells, pipelines and risers, as well as evaluating reservoir production
profiles using alternative technologies to develop reservoirs. Further software
to assess Surge and environmental safety will also be available.
The field design approach will consider an integrated solution through modelling
the reservoir decline, wells, flowlines, risers and the host facility. The
participants will have a total appreciation of the methodology required to
develop offshore oil and gas fields and have an understanding of all of the Flow
Assurance issues and technology requirements.
Training Objectives
After the completion of this training course, participants will be able to:
* Understand the process required and identify data to analyse Flow Assurance
for oil and gas fields.
* Examine and Identify the Flow Assurance issues required to be evaluated for
oil and gas fields design. These include; Wax, Hydrates, Slugging, Corrosion,
Sand Erosion, Scaling and Surge.
* Establish the studies to be undertaken for each area of Flow Assurance
including 'Rules of Thumb' and software to be used.
* Prioritize the need for innovative methods and the technologies to solve Flow
Assurance issues and the need for economics considerations.
* Appreciate the need for an integrated analysis of the oil and fields from the
reservoir to the host processing facility.
* Gain an appreciation of the emerging and enabling technologies for offshore
fields application.
* Dive deeper into the operational strategies requirements to mitigate Flow
Assurance issues.
Target Audience
This training course is suitable and will greatly benefit the following specific
groups:
* Reservoir Engineers
* Flow Assurance Engineers
* Thermodynamics Engineers
* Process and Chemical Engineers
* Pipeline Engineers
* Facilities Engineers
* Control and Subsea Engineers working in the Oil and Gas industries
* Engineers in other disciplines may attend that require an appreciation of
Flow Assurance
Course Level
* Intermediate
Training Methods
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 environment is
highly stimulating, challenging, and effective because the participants will
learn by case studies which will allow them to apply the material taught in
their own organization.
Course Duration: 5 days in total (35 hours).

Trainer
Your expert course leader is a renowned specialist in flow assurance management
for the oil & gas field developments. His expertise enables him to support the
operating and contracting companies as well as financial institutions regarding
due diligence on offshore development investment decisions and associated
operational system risks. Technical assessment of fields for acquisition and
production enhancement opportunity. He possesses specialist expertise in
evaluating difficult pipeline fluids transport such as Ethylene, Carbon Dioxide
and Hydrogen through feasibility studies and technical reviews for clients. He
has an exceptional academic background and natural leadership abilities are
supported by practical experience of diverse projects worldwide, along with
numerous publications at key conferences and publication of four books.
Particular interests in developing novel and innovative technologies for subsea
applications to solve difficult flow assurance problem areas and improve field
development economics. He has worked on major industry projects including;
Concorde aircraft fuelling system, the Channel Tunnel aerodynamics and the first
deep water oil field development (Foinaven) in the West of Shetland. He is also
currently developing a renewable energy solar farm and carbon neutral energy
crop (Miscanthus) for domestic and commercial power generation application. He
has developed in-house resources including specialist oil & gas field
development evaluation software for subsea and onshore field infrastructure
development options including; costing and financial analysis, reservoir
viability, flow assurance assessment, subsea processing and boosting
technologies, flow induced vibrations, surge analysis, heat transfer and
chemical injection systems.
