Successful onshore pipeline businesses require personnel competent in fully integrated


approaches to evaluation, planning, design, construction, operations, and asset
integrity management. T his intensive, 5-day foundation level course explores best
practices for developing and maintaining pipeline systems that maximize life cycle
reliability; employee, public, and environmental safety; and cost effectiveness. Design
and team exercises are an integral part of this course.

"Everything was well organized. T he subject itself was very interesting to me and
applicable to my job." - Design Engineer, Kazakhstan

"Well rounded course material. We covered what seems like all different areas of pipeline
design, including areas I hadn't thought about such as ROWs." - Logistics Projects
Engineer, United States

Des ig ned Fo r:
Pipeline project managers and engineers, operations and maintenance supervisors,
regulatory compliance personnel, and other technical professionals with 1-3 years of
experience in natural gas, crude oil, refined petroleum products, LPGs, NGL, chemical,
carbon dioxide pipeline engineering, construction, operations, or maintenance. T his
course is intended for participants needing a broad understanding of the planning,
development, construction, start-up, and operating and asset integrity management of
onshore pipelines.

Apply regulatory codes, standards, and industry guidelines (API and others) that
control and guide the permitting, design, construction, operation, and maintenance
of pipeline facilities
Apply mechanical and physical principles to pipeline design, hydraulics, and material
selection
Apply mechanical and physical principles to pump and compressor selection
Describe the important factors in station design
Describe the importance of route selection and hydraulics for long term profitability,
reliability, and safety
Identify special design and construction challenges of onshore pipeline systems
Describe methods of river and road crossings, HDD crossings, bores
Identify the principle interfaces and potential interrelationships of pipeline facilities,
such as pump stations and terminals, on design and operations
Apply operational and maintenance tools and procedures, including system
monitoring and control, leak detection, corrosion control, custody measurement and
quality control, asset integrity management, and emergency response planning

Willbros Engineers (US), LLC, in 1973 as a Project Manager. He was named Vice
President and Manager of Projects in 1981. In 1984, Mr. Beasley became Executive Vice
President and Chief Operating Officer, and in 1986 was promoted to President and Chief
Operating Officer, a position he held until August 2003. In 2001, Mr. Beasley was given
additional responsibilities as Senior Vice President of Willbros USA, Inc., the parent
company of Willbros Engineers (US), LLC. He has over 40 years of experience in project
management, engineering, and construction management of pipeline systems and
military facilities.

MR. Y. (JOSH) GILAD, PE, has 40 years of domestic and international experience in the
engineering, analysis, inspection, troubleshooting, forensic investigation and expert
witness for marine liquid bulk terminals for oil (crude, products) and gas (LNG, LPG),
cargo handling and storage facilities, prime movers, piping and pipelines. His
experience includes pipeline flow and hydraulic transient analysis, pipe stress analysis,
pipeline on-bottom stability, pipeline integrity & fitness for service assessment.
T hroughout his years with Brown & Root (now KBR), Han-Padron Associates (now
CH2M-Hill), and as an independent consultant, Mr. Gilad has been involved in the design
and installation of numerous single point mooring (SPM) systems and other offshore
petroleum terminals, fixed-berth and offshore cargo transfer systems, oil and gas
pipelines, Pipeline End Manifolds (PLEMs), pig launching/receiving and oil storage
facilities. Mr. Gilad holds a BS and MS in mechanical engineering from the T echnion,
Haifa and is a registered Professional Engineer in the States of T X, NY and CA. He is one
of the original authors of the California State MOT EMS, and presently a member of PIANC
working group, WG153, that is developing recommendations for the design of marine oil
terminals.

MR. ST UART WAT SON is the Facilities Engineering T echnical Director for PetroSkills. He
has over 18 years of experience in oil and gas processing. His experience has taken him
to facilities around the world in regions including Australia, Africa, the Middle East and the
US. Mr. Watson graduated with honors in 1995 from Curtin University, Perth, Australia,
with a BS in Mechanical Engineering. After graduating he worked in Perth, Australia
supporting Woodside's offshore facilities. In January 2000, Stuart accepted a position
with Pearl Development Company of Colorado where he worked over the next eight years
at many of the gas production and processing facilities in the western US. His work
included expansions for Unocal Alaska, facilities engineering at the El Paso Field
Service's 650MMscfd Chaco Plant and various other projects in Colorado and Wyoming.
In 2008, he oversaw and commissioned a 92MMscfd amine sweetening and cryogenic
NGL train for the Government of Ras Al Khaimah (UAE). T hereafter, he started his own
engineering consultancy supporting both mechanical and process disciplines. In 2009
he started instructing part time for John M. Campbell and Co. in mechanical engineering
and operator training. Currently, Mr. Watson supports PetroSkills in a full time role to
ensure technical and quality assurance in ICE, Pipeline, Mechanical and Offshore
engineering.
