Geoscientists and engineers focus on maximizing hydrocarbon extraction by understanding and exploiting field geological and formations data. To achieve their challenging goals\, they use sophisticated software to perform virtual field characterizations and analysis which generates terabytes of valuable intellectual data and information. This is one example\, and there are many more by which new data is being generated and stored each day. Companies are investing into hardware and software to tackle these problems but lack the basic guide lines or policies to manage the growing data volume. This has led to even more problems and waste of valuable resources and funds. One of the key requirements for E&P companies is to have a well-defined data management strategy. \nWho Should Attend\n\nUpstream personnel\nIT\nAdmin\nHR\nNon-geoscience personnel\n* There are no technical prerequisites for this course besides having more than 3 years’ work experience and a higher education diploma\n\nKey Learning Objectives\n\nWhat is Data Management life cycle\, why it is important\, understanding Data Acquisitions in terms of\nexploration\, production and life of field\nThe core Geophysical data types in the E&P industry and valuable best practices for them\nCommon seismic activity using Gulf of Mexico as a case study\nThe importance of frequency in data and learning about spectral analysis\nUsing Data analytics (big data\, the cloud\, Business Intelligence maturity modelling) in the Oil and Gas industry\nGeophysical limitation and challenges\nBeing familiar with industry data standards\n\nEnquiry form\n\n\n \n \n SalutationMr.Miss.Mrs.Mdm.Dr.Prof.Capt.Name\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n PhoneEmail\n \n CompanyAdditional Comments:CAPTCHA URL:https://www.opuskinetic.com/training/geophysical-data-management-for-non-geophysicist/ LOCATION:Kuala Lumpur\, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur\, Kuala Lumpur\, Malaysia CATEGORIES:Geology GEO:3.1384965;101.7099933 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20181105 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20181109 DTSTAMP:20260409T084043 CREATED:20180724T091000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180724T091000Z UID:10000498-1541376000-1541721599@www.opuskinetic.com SUMMARY:TÜV Rheinland Functional Safety Training Program DESCRIPTION:Overview\nThis training focuses on functional safety aspects for process\, oil & gas\, petrochemical and chemical industries according to IEC 61508 / IEC 61511.

The rotary motion combined with a shaped pump housing creates centrifugal force to discharge fluids from the pumps. These pumps operate efficiently in high-volume\, low-output-pressure conditions. Centrifugal pumps are energy efficient as well as\nprovide high flow rates. However even if the low cost centrifugal pump does help improve profit margins they should be well maintained and should be used in parts of the transporting process that would maximise its efficiency as they are not as effective when dealing with viscous liquids. \nWho Should Attend\n\nMaintenance & operation engineers\nPump application engineers\n\nPump sales engineers\n\nProject & construction engineers\n\nPlant engineers\n\nProcess engineers and designers\n\nEngineering consultants\n\nMechanical engineers\n\nSystem designers\n\nCivil engineers\nRotating equipment engineers\n\nKey Learning Objectives\n\nReview of the pump design characteristics\, configuration and applications\nUnderstanding affinity rules and size scaling\n\nLearning the principal considerations appropriate to specific production or process requirements\nfor pump selection\n\nGain an understanding of main geometry factors that affect pump performance and efficiency\n\nReview pump cavitation phenomenon and the options for preventing or correcting a cavitation problem\n\nUnderstanding rotodynamic stability of pumps and vibration\n\nLearning the differences between pump operation point VS B.E.P. and impact on reliability\n\nGuidance on how to go about performing a field or on-site pump performance test.\n\nEnquiry Form\n\n \n \n SalutationMr.Miss.Mrs.Mdm.Dr.Prof.Capt.Name\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n PhoneEmail\n \n CompanyAdditional Comments:CAPTCHA URL:https://www.opuskinetic.com/training/advanced-practical-centrifugal-pump-2/ LOCATION:Kuala Lumpur\, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur\, Kuala Lumpur\, Malaysia CATEGORIES:Downstream,Oil/Gas/Petrochemicals GEO:3.1384965;101.7099933 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20181119 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20181122 DTSTAMP:20260409T084043 CREATED:20180725T035516Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180725T035516Z UID:10000323-1542585600-1542844799@www.opuskinetic.com SUMMARY:Oil and Gas Agreements: Effective Legal Negotiation and Dispute Resolution DESCRIPTION:Overview\nTension will arise between the parties to a contract\, particularly with a contract which involves multiple interactions between the parties over time\, and it is inevitable that such tension will lead to disputes and difference that need to be resolved as part of the contract process.This is particularly the case with oil and gas contracts.The workshop will introduce delegates to the reasons why disputes and differences arise under various types of oil and gas contracts\, what might be done to reduce the likelihood of them arising\, and what might be done to resolve them when they do arise. \nDelegates will also be introduced to the concept of trust\, the role trust plays in the life-cycle of a contract\, the feedback cycle and the resolution of disputes and differences and why it is that a party honours its obligations liabilities under a contract. They will also consider the “shadow of the law” that relates to contracts and touch on the concepts of good faith and ethicality. Delegates will also be introduced to various processes that may be called upon to assist in the resolution of disputes and differences once they have arisen\, including: \n\nnegotiation\nmediation\n\nexpert determination\n\narbitration\n\nlitigation\n\nAttention will be given to the effect these processes have on the maintenance of trust and the relationship between the various stakeholders in the contract relationship.Finally\, delegates will be introduced to processes they could implant into the contract framework which are aimed at building trust and reducing the tension that leads to disputes and difference. Attention will be given to processes that make positive use of the contract framework to shape the behaviour of the parties and their respective stakeholders.To facilitate the discussion of why disputes and differences arise under contracts\, the role of trust\, the various processes that may be called upon to assist in the resolution of disputes and diff erences\, and the processes that might be implanted in contracts\, delegates will participate in a number of simulation exercises and the debriefing of them and in the review of a number of case studies.\n \nWho Should Attend\n\nThose involved in procurement\n\nThose involved in contract negotiation\n\nThose involved in the negotiation process\n\nLawyers in oil and gas sectors\n*There are no pre-reading required\, delegates may be required to read some of the simulation exercise materials in the evenings to be prepared to participate in the simulation exercises the next day.\n\nKey Learning Objectives\n\nThe life-cycle of a contract: planning\, procuring\, managing\, termination and review\n\nThe feedback cycle that takes place during the management of a contract: learning\, adapting\, adjusting\, and reconfiguring or termination\nThe contract relationships: the stakeholders\n\nIndividual\, group and organisational behavioural and psychological factors and the role they play in the\nfeedback cycle and the management of a contract\n\nHow a contract can shape behaviour: individual\, group and organisational behaviour\n\nIncomplete contracts\n\nTrust\n\nEnquiry Form\n\n \n \n SalutationMr.Miss.Mrs.Mdm.Dr.Prof.Capt.Name\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n PhoneEmail\n \n CompanyAdditional Comments:CAPTCHA URL:https://www.opuskinetic.com/training/oil-and-gas-agreements-effective-legal-negotiation-and-dispute-resolution/ LOCATION:Kuala Lumpur\, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur\, Kuala Lumpur\, Malaysia CATEGORIES:Corporate, Business Management and HR,Oil/Gas/Petrochemicals GEO:3.1384965;101.7099933 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20181119 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20181123 DTSTAMP:20260409T084043 CREATED:20180725T034829Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180725T034829Z UID:10000320-1542585600-1542931199@www.opuskinetic.com SUMMARY:Advanced Maintenance Management DESCRIPTION:Overview\nThe effective Maintenance management within chemical plants is a critical feature of plant operation\, both in establishing the conditions for safe ongoing operation of the plant after commissioning\, and in supporting the commercial success of the business. \nMany companies focus on the cost of the maintenance organisation\, rather than on the benefits that they can provide\, and in so doing the real potential for maintenance organisations to make significant contributions to business success are often lost. Ultimately\, and assuming that the commercial department is able to sell the product that is produced\, the contribution of a maintenance organisation can most effectively be measured in terms of its ability to generate sustained improvements with time in the total (fixed and variable) cost per unit volume of production. There are a number of drivers which tend to increase the cost of production; certain types of equipment become unreliable with time\, obsolescence is often an issue\, environmental and safety standards are continuing to tighten\, and so on. \nOf course\, there are many tools and techniques that are available to help. Techniques such as Risk Based Inspection\, Reliability Centred Maintenance\, and Total Productive Maintenance can all add value if they are used appropriately\, but it is important to remember that the long term aim of plant maintenance is to deliver sustained and continuous reduction in the cost per unit of production\, a point often lost in the mounds of paperwork that can be generated by some of the tools that are provided to help the maintenance engineer in his decision making! It is worth remembering that any debate or decision within the maintenance organisation which does not concern the selection or delivery of maintenance task is unlikely to contribute to improving the overall performance of the business.  \nWho Should Attend\nThis workshop is designed to be beneficial to all individuals who are involved in the planning\, preparation\, execution and commissioning of plants during and following a turnaround. It is especially useful to managers\, engineers\, operations\, planners\, schedulers\, logistics coordinators\, cost managers and supervisors. It would also be of use to safety officers\, inspection and engineering personnel in order to increase their level of awareness of the workings of turnaround management. \nKey Learning Objectives\n\nImprove your company’s approach to planning and scheduling\n\nProvide a framework for effective turnaround execution\n\nHighlight the unique safety requirements of turnarounds\n\nFoster the “one team” approach to turnarounds\nProvide a comprehensive knowledge base for turnarounds\n\nDemonstrate the latest planning techniques for turnarounds\n\nHighlighting the operational check out and startup requirements\n\nLearn the conditions for acceptance of the plant by plant operations personnel\n\nEnquiry Form\n\n \n \n SalutationMr.Miss.Mrs.Mdm.Dr.Prof.Capt.Name\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n PhoneEmail\n \n CompanyAdditional Comments:CAPTCHA URL:https://www.opuskinetic.com/training/advanced-maintenance-management/ LOCATION:Singapore\, Singapore CATEGORIES:Oil/Gas/Petrochemicals GEO:1.352083;103.819836 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20181120 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20181123 DTSTAMP:20260409T084043 CREATED:20180726T025143Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180726T025143Z UID:10000530-1542672000-1542931199@www.opuskinetic.com SUMMARY:Advanced Basin Analysis Masterclass DESCRIPTION:Overview\nThis advanced case-study led course is designed to teach participants a process for rapidly screening frontier basin opportunities with minimal data\, with case studies from across the world\, including many African\, Atlantic and South-East Asian Basins. \nThree day modules cover the essentials of basin classification and tectonostratigraphic analysis\, the prediction of petroleum system elements (reservoir\, source rocks and seals) and the presentation of a workflow with which the prospects of a basin can be rapidly assessed.

Centrifugal pumps are energy efficient as well as provide high flow rates.  \nHowever even if the low cost centrifugal pump does help improve profit margins they should be well maintained and should be used in parts of the transporting process that would maximise its efficiency as they are not as effective when dealing with viscous liquids. \nWho Should Attend\n\nMaintenance & operation engineers\nPump application engineers\n\nPump sales engineers\n\nProject & construction engineers\n\nPlant engineers\n\nProcess engineers and designers\n\nEngineering consultants\n\nMechanical engineers\n\nSystem designers\n\nCivil engineers\nRotating equipment engineers\n\nKey Learning Objectives\n\nReview of the pump design characteristics\, configuration and applications\nUnderstanding affinity rules and size scaling\n\nLearning the principal considerations appropriate to specific production or process requirements\nfor pump selection\n\nGain an understanding of main geometry factors that affect pump performance and efficiency\n\nReview pump cavitation phenomenon and the options for preventing or correcting a cavitation problem\n\nUnderstanding rotodynamic stability of pumps and vibration\n\nLearning the differences between pump operation point VS B.E.P. and impact on reliability\n\nGuidance on how to go about performing a field or on-site pump performance test.\n\nEnquiry Form\n\n \n \n SalutationMr.Miss.Mrs.Mdm.Dr.Prof.Capt.Name\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n PhoneEmail\n \n CompanyAdditional Comments:CAPTCHA URL:https://www.opuskinetic.com/training/advanced-practical-centrifugal-pump-3/ LOCATION:Bangkok\, Thailand CATEGORIES:Downstream,Oil/Gas/Petrochemicals GEO:15.870032;100.992541 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20181126 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20181129 DTSTAMP:20260409T084043 CREATED:20180927T041837Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180927T041837Z UID:10000555-1543190400-1543449599@www.opuskinetic.com SUMMARY:ASME B31.3 Piping\, Construction\, Inspection\, Maintenance\, Repair & Integrity Assessment & Re-Rating (API 579) DESCRIPTION:Overview\nThis course provides a comprehensive coverage of the examination requirements Body of Knowledge along with ASME B31.3 Code requirements.

One of the key components of Safety Case is to demonstrate risk reduction to ALARP level by adopting and implementing control measures. Therefore\, there is a need to understand the use of these principles with respect to the level of uncertainty and on the risk criteria. In this case-study led workshop\, delegates will be taught on the key concepts\, and approaches taken to demonstrate or provide evidence on ALARP. The idea behind ALARP is to demonstrate risk reductions in MHI based on reasonable practicability and gross disproportion\, which is a balancing act between cost and risk. As far as the application of numerical risk criteria is concerned\, it is not always correct and thus the demonstration of ALARP and the usage of risk criteria should be justified based on the categorization of risk which may be either qualitative\, semi-quantitative\, or quantitative. Many Countries regulate Major Hazard sites using a safety case regime based on a risk-based approach to process safety; Singapore is rolling out such a regime as mentioned. \nThese regimes require that risk is controlled to ALARP (As Low AS Reasonably Practicable) level which is a very different approach to safety management than the compliance approach that many operators are familiar with. This course covers the important principles of ALARP\, which is a commonly misunderstood concept. It discusses the variability of ALARP requirements for managing similar hazards in different circumstances and the application of risk targets. It looks at different ways of assessing risk from quantified approaches to qualitative approaches for both consequence and frequency analysis and when to use these. The application of inherent safety principles and recognised good practice are discussed along with Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) and the concepts of reasonably practicable and disproportionality. \nBesides demonstrating ALARP in the safety case\, ALARP should be applied throughout the lifecycle of any facility. This workshop will touch on how to apply the concept in different situations such as during design\, specifying instrumented safety systems\, operating procedures\, and coverage during maintenance of safety critical equipment. Several case studies are presented for the delegates to work through and a discussion on common errors and how the concept is often misused. Throughout this workshop\, participants will be taught on how to prove that ALARP has been properly implemented as part of effective risk management and how ALARP is implemented in the design\, development\, and operation of engineering systems.  \nWho Should Attend\nEngineers\, Executives\, Supervisors\, and Managers especially those who work in Technical & Planning\, Production/Operation\, Engineering\, and SHE departments in Refinery\, Chemicals\, and Petrochemical\nsettings will benefit by attending this course. \nPotential attendees are listed out as follow: \n\nProcess Engineer\n\nProcess Champion\n\nEHS Engineer\n\nProduction Engineer\nProduction Supervisor\nMaintenance Engineer\n\nOperations Engineer\n\nMechanical Engineer\n\nPiping Engineer\n\nProduction Manager\n\nTechnical Manager\n\nTechnical Development Manager\n\nKey Learning Points\n\nLEARN the essential principles of ALARP and how it fits within a Safety Case\nGAIN the key concepts of ALARP principles and the fundamental approaches for its applications\n\nKNOW the HSE principles for Cost Benefit Analyses (CBA) in support of ALARP decisions\nUNDERSTAND the approaches to good practice and to demonstrate ALARP using different decision making criteria\n\nACQUIRE tools and techniques to determine factors in selecting or rejecting control measures\n\nWith each process deviation\, APPLY the concept of ALARP (As Low as Reasonably Practicable) or risk elimination on the causes and consequences\n\nBECOME familiar with PHA study\, its context in WSH Act and its relation in Safety Case regime\n\nExercise CAUTION in regards to reverse ALARP whereby CBA or QRA is used to justify higher risk\n\nEnquiry Form\n\n \n \n SalutationMr.Miss.Mrs.Mdm.Dr.Prof.Capt.Name\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n PhoneEmail\n \n CompanyAdditional Comments:CAPTCHA URL:https://www.opuskinetic.com/training/alarp-principles-guidelines-9/ LOCATION:Kuala Lumpur\, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur\, Kuala Lumpur\, Malaysia CATEGORIES:Oil/Gas/Petrochemicals GEO:3.1384965;101.7099933 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
