It includes descriptions of important new requirements of ASME B31.3\, including the philosophy behind the changes. Further\, the course has been enriched with the latest requirements of the API 570. General topics in the course include: Code organization and intent\, pressure design\, design for sustained loads including support design\, flexibility analysis\, equipment loads\, expansion joints\, supports and restraints\, materials\, fabrication\, examination\, testing\, and\, for existing piping inspection\, maintenance\, repair\, rehabilitation\, and mechanical integrity. The course covers design\, fabrication\, examination and testing requirements of API 570/ASME B31.3. It covers Code requirements from design\, as well as standards for inspection\, integrity and repair of piping systems that have been in service\, as provided in API 570. The course covers the practical aspects of piping integrity\, maintenance and repair. Participants will be introduced to the technical basis of the ASME and API integrity rules\, and their application and exercises. The participants will be able to recognize causes of degradation in-service\, whether mechanically induced (pressure\, vibration\, fatigue\, pressure transients\, external damage) or due to corrosion (wall thinning\, pitting\, cracking)\, and apply integrity analysis techniques to make run-or-repair decisions. The course provides a working knowledge of the Code\, how it is organized\, its intent\, the basis for requirements\, including both design and construction (fabrication\, erection and testing) aspects. It provides a foundation of knowledge necessary for those responsible for assuring the mechanical integrity of existing systems\, as well as those responsible for designing and constructing new systems. The participants will become knowledgeable in the technical basis and application of ASME B31.3\, API 570. \nParticipants should bring calculators and Lap Top computers for working sample problems. Participants may wish to bring copies of the codes if they have copies available\, but the course is designed such that it is not necessary for the participants to have copies of the Codes for reference. \nWho Should Attend\nThis course is primarily aimed at persons aspiring to sit the American Petroleum Institute – ICP Examination for API 570\, however this course provides an overview of all practical aspects and considerations of piping systems for those who are involved in the design\, analysis\, fabrication\, installation\, Inspection\, repair\, pigging\, rehabilitation\, integrity assessment\, maintenance or ownership of piping & pipeline systems. Engineers\, Draftsmen\, maintenance\, inspection\, quality assurance\, and manufacturing personnel who work in the chemical\, petrochemical\, petroleum\, utility\, plastic processing\, pulp and paper\, and manufacturing fields will find it a time-saving means to broaden and update their knowledge of piping & pipeline systems. Those who must comply with Code requirements will benefit from the practical approach presented in this course in obtaining satisfactory and economical piping systems. \nEndorsed By: \n \n\nFor further information of this course\, please email to info@opuskinetic.com URL:https://www.opuskinetic.com/training/asme-b31-piping-construction-inspection-maintenance-repair-integrity-assessment-re-rating/ LOCATION:Malaysia\, Malaysia CATEGORIES:Oil/Gas/Petrochemicals GEO:4.210484;101.975766 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20160525 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20160526 DTSTAMP:20260406T204020 CREATED:20170623T074738Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170623T074926Z UID:10000260-1464134400-1464220799@www.opuskinetic.com SUMMARY:Effective Well Integrity Management along WIF Guidelines DESCRIPTION:Overview\nWell Integrity Management should have the highest priority and attention in each E&P Company. It is simply about protecting the most valuable Asset of the Company\, preventing costly environmental incidents and whilst protecting the Operators reputation\, it is securing extension of Production licenses and/or securing future licenses; being the Operator of Choice. \nIt therefore makes full sense to invest in the right equipment in design for sustained integrity\, have the correct management processes in place and a competent Well Integrity Team. \nThe Well Integrity discipline is to be a career development step for engineers in the organisation. It needs to be part of the skill profile of each manager in Wells\, Production Operations and Petroleum Engineering discipline group.On a Global level\, there are very little official Policies and Guidelines for Well Integrity Management. Most such documents reside with the Operators\, whilst most Government do not have Governance\, nor the competence to enforce. \nThis Class teaches staff to become competent in the Well Integrity Management. The Class follows the Norwegian Petroleum Authority’s Well Integrity Forum’s advised curriculum. It finishes with an exam and upon passing the candidate receives a certificate® of competence in Well Integrity design and management issued by Lowlands Management Consultancy. The landscape of WIM does not have official certification yet like IWCF. This certificate® from a well established and recognized consultant like Lowlands\, who have proven track record on management level in WIM in one of the largest Operators\, is certainly a good first step. It shall be noted in this context that other lecturers are from field supervisor’s level background or from the Service Industry. \nOnly by learning from a trainer who has worked at a management level with an Operator\, you can appreciate the full spectrum of well issues such as which policies are most effective\, what to expect and what to check from vendors\, to the whole package needed to do your well integrity justice and maximise Ultimate Recovery from the reservoir. Ultimately the Operator is fully accountable for the integrity management of its wells; to the Government and to shareholders. \n\nWho Should Attend\nPersonnel directly responsible and or involved in Well Integrity are to have the recommended training. \n\nWell Integrity team members\nNOC Well Integrity enforcing Authorities\nSenior Production operation personnel OIM\, production managers\, Field coordinators\nDrilling/completion/intervention engineers\nService-company Sr field engineers and operators with delegated responsibilities in well integrity\n\n\nKey Learning Points\n\nDiscuss and teach completion design topics to create an “integer” well with lowest life cycle maintenance cost from a WIM prospective\nGet familiarise with concepts and principles of Well Integrity Management system and identify roles and responsibility in the organization\nAnalyse well integrity failure modes\, its effects and mitigating actions\nDetermine management system to follow up the well integrity issues emerging from tests in the field\nExplore different techniques to prevent internal and external well integrity issues like corrosion\nDevelop preventive maintenance strategies to manage the well integrity issues\n\nEndorsed By: \n \n\nFor further information of this course\, please email to info@opuskinetic.com URL:https://www.opuskinetic.com/training/effective-well-integrity-management-along-wif-guidelines/ LOCATION:Malaysia\, Malaysia CATEGORIES:Oil/Gas/Petrochemicals GEO:4.210484;101.975766 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20160525 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20160526 DTSTAMP:20260406T204020 CREATED:20170623T075049Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170623T075109Z UID:10000133-1464134400-1464220799@www.opuskinetic.com SUMMARY:Steam and Gas Turbines – Design\, Selection\, Operation and Maintenance DESCRIPTION:Overview\nThe aim is to provide a satisfactory approach to the problems posed by turbines and the means to solve them.  This 3-day course will cover gas and steam turbine components\, operations\, maintenance\, performance\, applications and asset management.
