ABOUT THIS TRAINING COURSE
This 5-days comprehensive training course provides not only an introduction into
the issues associated with the development of the pipeline transportation of CO2
from its Capture, it's transportation, storage and usage but also provides an in
depth understanding of the issues to be considered in the development, design
and operations of these pipelines. The theme throughout this training course is
CO2 Flow Assurance and Innovative Technologies.
Each training day will consist 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 CO2 transport and its operations. Various
software will be available during the workshop to predict thermo hydraulics and
associated phase flows through CO2 pipelines and the attached infrastructure.
Further software to assess surge and environmental safety will also be
available. The CO2 pipeline design approach will consider an integrated solution
through modelling the CO2 capture system as well as the host storage facility.
The participants will have a total appreciation of the methodology required to
develop a CO2 transportation system and have an understanding of all of the Flow
Assurance, risks, and operating 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 CO2 pipeline transport
* Review and Identify the Flow Assurance issues required to be evaluated for
CO2 pipeline transport design and operations methodology. These include;
Hydrates, Slugging, Corrosion, Scaling, Fluid Phase Behaviour and transient
conditions
* Establish the studies to be undertaken for each area of CO2 transport
including 'Rules of Thumb' and software to be used
* Comprehend the need for innovative methods and the technologies to mitigate
Flow Assurance issues and the need for economics considerations
* Appreciate the need for an integrated analysis of the CO2 transport system
from the CO2 capture to the host storage facility
* Gain an appreciation of the emerging and enabling technologies for CO2
transport and storage application
* Dive deeper into the operational strategies requirements to mitigate Flow
Assurance issues

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.
