Facilities Engineering involves designing, reviewing and implementing processes or improvements in the operations or construction of a oil and gas related facilities.
This short course is designed to give the attendees the fundamentals of natural gas processing and conditioning including details of the major processes. Typical equipment and facilities will be discussed with regard to their design and operation including hands-on process simulations. The course covers the properties, uses and specifications of natural gas and natural gas liquids including stabilized condensate; LPG and LNG to provide for safe storage and transportation. The design and operation of major Gas Processing Plant components will be covered. These include equipment from the input to the sales products exiting the plant such as Separators; Compressors; Engines; Gas Turbines; Electric Motors; Pumps; Heat Exchangers; Sour Gas Treatment; Dehydration; Dew Point Control and Liquids Treatment.
Subsea systems are subjected to harsh environmental conditions which make their construction and design challenging. The course initially provides a comprehensive review of geological and geotechnical characterization of the seafloor. Subsequently, the course focuses on the installation and design of subsea systems according to the international standards. Finally the course introduces basic seismic design requirements.
Subsea systems are subjected to harsh environmental conditions which make their construction and design challenging. The course initially introduces the fundamental of offshore soil mechanics and provides a comprehensive review of geological and geotechnical characterization of the seafloor. Subsequently, the course focuses on the installation and design of subsea systems according to the international standards. The fundamentals of soil-structure interaction, and their implications to the design of subsea systems, are finally introduced and discussed.
