Public :
Field operators, control room operators, supervisors and maintenance technicians, looking to acquire best practices of Oil & Gas production facilities troubleshooting.
Level :Knowledge
Prerequisite :
A 6 months experience in field operations.
Course Content
METHODOLOGY
-
Duration : 0.75 Day
Troubleshooting flowchart.
Recognize a trouble when occurring. Problem definition using ISHIGAWA fishbone chart.
Methodological approach to identify causes and remedial options.
CASE STUDIES
-
Duration : 1.25 Days
Operating parameters instability.
Compressor failure.
Glycol and hydrate inhibition.
Non-compliance with product specifications.
Pipeline network analysis.
Flowline erosion.
CASE STUDIES (ON SIMULATOR)
-
Duration : 0.5 Day
Through dynamic simulation exercises, the participants will study various cases of malfunctions either due to inappropriate tuning of control loop parameters or due to instruments or equipment failures.
SPECIFIC CASE STUDIES IN MINI-PROJECTS (ON SIMULATOR)
-
Duration : 2 Days
During these two days, split in small sub-groups and in complete autonomy, the participants will apply the just acquired troubleshooting methodology, based on dynamically simulated and realistic field cases (offshore and onshore production plants). This includes (but is not limited to):
Description of normal production operations of the unit - review production units current operating conditions
Identification and localization of the simulated malfunctions – review of abnormal conditions, operating parameters disturbances phenomena and observed consequences.
Identification of the most probable causes.
Prioritization and implementation of solutions.
Learning Objectives
Attendees will be able to implement the following skills:
Explain operation normal conditions, list common issues on main O&G processes and major equipment,
Identify roots causes to process deviations and abnormal conditions by using a structured, step-by-step approach,
Find an adapted solution to the identified problem.
Ways & Means
Training delivery with industry specialist lecturers.
Methodology illustrated by multiple industrial case studies.
Use of a dynamic simulator for process control tuning.
Specific case study related to the actual plant operated by the participants.
Learning assessment
Case studies.
