The course is designed to cover the fundamentals of Process Safety for all staff levels in a high hazard installation. It will benefit anyone who requires to understand the essentials of process safety including managers, supervisors, technical, engineering, HSE, maintenance and operational staff who are associated with the design, construction, operation, maintenance and governance of high hazard installations in the upstream and downstream oil, gas and petrochemical industry. 

This course is an introduction to the emerging technology of Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS), and a historic look at the reasons behind the need for DTS and its usage to date. The course looks at how DTS technology has been applied and the reasons behind applying this technology. Such systems have found application in high-cost horizontal and multilateral wells where reentry with a logging tool is difficult if not impossible.

After completing this course participants will be able to place the drill string design process in context with other planning and operational considerations; Design cost-effective BHAs; Gain specific application experience analyzing common load cases for both near-vertical and high-angle situations: Tension loads, Torque loads, Combined tension-torque loads, Fatigue loads, Buckling loads; Identify drilling tools and operational practices to reduce both torque and drag and casing wear; refresh underlying physics of drill string failures and mechanical properties of drill string materials; diagnose and mitigate vibration to reduce drill string damage and failure; optimize drill string inspection program using the latest industry standards.

Special Core Analysis, SCAL data has a direct impact on the way fluids are allocated and distributed in the reservoir simulation models, which would directly impact reservoirs’ STOIIP (Stock Tank Oil-Initially-In-Place) estimation and their distribution. Moreover, it directly affects the performance of secondary and EOR flooding processes, and in turn impacts the accuracy of the oil and gas reserve estimates, and the management of these reserves. 

Staff in oil, gas and petrochemicals industries who require the basics of environmental management and pollution control, including operational staff, engineers, supervisors, project managers and entry level HSE professionals. It is a core course for any person who can influence environmental impact within their organisation; it is also an ideal program for anyone new to the industry with no prior environmental knowledge.This course is a first step on a career ladder towards a role within the environmental disciplines.
