Design For :
Engineers, designers and operators who are actively involved in the design,
specification, construction, and operation of offshore pipeline systems.
You Will Learn
- Apply mechanical, strength, and physical principles to pipeline design, material selection, construction, and operation
- Describe the key construction methods
- Define the importance of environmental conditions, construction methods, and pipeline system hydraulics in design, installation, and operations of offshore pipeline systems
- Identify special design and construction challenges of offshore pipeline systems
- Incorporate construction methods into the design of a pipeline system
- Identify the principal interfaces of pipeline facilities, such as platforms, floating production systems, sub-sea wellheads, and SPMs on design, construction, and operations of offshore pipeline systems
- Identify offshore safety and environmental practices and their effect on design, construction, and operations
Course Content
- Overview of oil and gas transportation systems
- Review pipeline hydraulics, focusing on those aspects that affect design, construction, and operations
- Pipeline systems definition, survey, and route selection
- Safety, environmental, and regulatory considerations, focusing on Codes and Standards related to pipelines
- Pipeline conceptual and mechanical design for strength, stability and constructability
- Pipeline materials and components selection including line pipe, corrosion and cathodic protection, and coatings
- Specialized equipment and materials for integrating with subsea wellhead/manifold systems, side taps, insulation, and pipe-in-pipe
- Special design and construction considerations for risers and umbilicals, foreign pipeline crossings, single point moorings, and shore approaches
- Introduction to flow assurance considerations and pipeline integrity aspects including in-line inspection, leak detection and emergency planning considerations
- Pipeline operations, maintenance and repair considerations and their impact on design and material selection
