Pipeline Engineering Design Training

Pipeline engineering design consists of the planning and design to ensure asset integrity and continuous/smooth operations of pipelines and associated facilities, both onshore and offshore.

COURSE OVERVIEW

In a more comprehensive way, this course will focus on the practical aspects of pipeline system design to transport hydrocarbons in a cost-effective manner. Pipeline engineering theory and the optimization process in the design of pipelines will be evaluated utilizing case studies and worked examples.
Participants will gain an in-depth understanding of pipeline design philosophy, applicable design standard and how to perform various design calculations.
In this course, participants will be worked through a number of exercises, to boost the fast application of knowledge acquired.

Course Objectives

Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:

• Gain an overview of onshore and offshore pipeline engineering design and pipeline engineering scope of work
• Understand the consideration made in the design of pipelines
• Perform various pipeline design calculations based on industry codes and standards.
• Perform pipeline route selection, understand pipeline sizing criteria and materials selection processes
• Understand various failure modes for pipeline
• Determine the appropriate corrosion protection techniques for pipeline design

Course Content Summary

Some of the course topics are:

• Introduction to pipeline engineering design, an overview of oil and gas transportation systems and roles and responsibilities of Pipeline Engineer
