Oil Export System Equipment & Operations

Background & About the Course

Exporting is a critical endpoint in oil and gas production operations, where commodities are prepared for delivery to end customers. Given that oil is a flammable commodity sensitive to environmental issues, it requires specialized skills and handling methodologies.

This training will begin with a refresher on the basics of oil commodities and production systems, followed by an in-depth exploration of the technical operations, handling systems, and transportation of crude oil.

Course Objectives

After attending this training, participants will:

• Learn about oil export systems operations.
• Understand pipeline operation and maintenance.
• Gain insights into oil and gas metering systems.
• Comprehend pipeline inspection and maintenance procedures.
• Understand sizing procedures and formulas for oil export pipelines.

Who Should Attend

This training is primarily targeted at:

• Process technicians
• Process technologists
• Maintenance personnel
• Employees involved in equipment and materials purchasing, procurement, job planning, and immediate supervisors of working technicians.
