This course aims to acquire best practices of production facilities control room operation through role-play situations on integrated Oil & Gas production plant dynamic simulator.
analyze and anticipate the behavior of main control loop structures (DCS and SIS systems architecture and functionalities),
explain production equipment, process operating parameters, and perform troubleshooting,
implement proactive, anticipatory control room operation and acquire a safety mindset,
react and act in a structured manner to anomalies and plant upsets,
enforce safety guidelines during downgraded and critical situations.
Experienced control room operators and production supervisors looking to advance their know-how in control room operation
GETTING STARTED - DCS FUNCTIONALITIES FOR PROPER ANALYSIS
Familiarization with HMI functions and operations.
DCS tools review.
PROCESS CONTROL & SAFETY INSTRUMENTED SYSTEMS
Impact of P&ID parameters and simply closed loop tuning.
Study of control loop structures: cascade, split-range on the simulator.
Programmable logic controllers: introduction to automated sequences.
Monitoring of start-up sequence (compressor) through MMI.
Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS): PSS, ESD, HIPPS, and F&G systems description.
WELLS & PRODUCTION LINES OPERATION
Well, start-up (ramp-up) and shutdown.
Analysis of automatic good control.
Well, monitoring and detection of abnormal conditions.
ROTATING MACHINERY OPERATION
Centrifugal pumps.
Centrifugal compressors:
Technology review, the study of process and auxiliary lines, protection systems.
Start-up and shutdown sequences.
Analysis of operating conditions and operating parameters.
PROCESS UPSET MANAGEMENT
Alarms: priorities management and decision making.
Becoming aware of the need for anticipation VS on-alarm action.
Managing and predicting process disturbances by using trend views. Use of trends to anticipate deviations.
Global plant performance checks: identification and implementation of a routine checks roadmap.
Shift report and impact of a faulty report through role-play situations.
Process upsets: learning to react and act in a structured manner.
Identification, analysis, and containment of process upsets according to the learned methodology.
Example of simulator exercises performed:
Loss of centrifugal compressor.
Loss of cooling media.
Production rate decrease.
Unexpected slugging.
ESD activation due to process safety trip.
SAFETY IN OPERATION
Learning to operate the plant in critical situations, to make adequate decisions, to follow-up on actions performed.
Social media marketing is one of the most important digital marketing channels. Social media marketing uses social media platforms to create awareness about the product. Digital Marketing uses online and offline channels to promote products to the customer.
We all operate in an increasingly complex commercial and professional environment that requires us to negotiate on a daily basis not only with customers, clients, suppliers and contractors but also with managers, fellow employees, and colleagues within our own organization.
The key to any successful operation lies in the effective management of risks; the ability to seize opportunities, minimize threats, and optimize results. However, risk management is too often treated as a reactive process, or worse, not done at all. In this Operations Risk Management and Mitigation training course, you’ll work through the proactive approach to both sides of risk: threats and opportunities. The approach applies a proven six-step methodology of risk planning through identification, analysis, and control.
Maintaining a high level of productivity in today's successful businesses takes work and continuous learning in a variety of management skills and techniques. To be successful in daily work tasks, knowledge, and skills in management techniques must be learned, practiced, and implemented. People in all types of organizations find themselves needing to find more productive methods of planning work and tasks, setting appropriate goals, using good interpersonal skills, and using effective means of making decisions. A focus on using productive practices allows for effective and efficient management of work and making changes in the organization.
The ASME Plant Inspector Level 1 training course provides the fundamental principles of the inspection, assessment, and management of fixed pressure equipment. The content of the course is delivered in a systematic manner, from the inspection planning process to inspection practices and evaluation of the associated equipment. It is aimed at the upstream and downstream Petrochemical industry but is equally relevant to stakeholders from other sectors that utilize pressure equipment.
This intensive course covers the in-service inspection methodologies and requirements for piping, pressure vessels, and above ground storage tanks.
