Course Introduction:
Pipeline systems for oil and gas industry play important role in modern industrial operations. The
purpose of this course is to present basic characteristics of efficient operation of pipelines in various
engineering applications

This training course will cover the interaction of pipelines with flow moving equipment, i.e. pumps
and compressors and technical characteristics of operation of pump and compressor stations
The delegates will be introduced to main points of inspection and testing according to relevant API
standards

They will also develop familiarity with methods of cleaning and other maintenance activities,
including necessary repairs as prevention of failures.

The programme will include several workshops with real problems from industrial practice which
will enable discussions and exchange of experiences

This training course will feature:


 Main aspects of pipeline efficient and safe operation
 Approaches to pipeline flow control and measurements
 Processes of material degradation due to ageing and work load
 Best practices for pipeline cleaning and maintenance
 Inspection procedures and estimating remaining life of equipment

Course Objectives:
Upon the successful completion of the course, participants will be able to:
 Identify basic principles of safe operation & efficient maintenance of pipelines for various
industrial applications.
 Develop deep understanding & familiarity with the practical aspects of operation and
maintenance activities.
 Illustrate the concepts discussed and be provided with necessary experience in applying
them.
 Use & follow the guidelines & best industrial practices related to operation, control,
inspection & testing of pipelines.
