This course describes the deepwater technology that has been developed and implemented in the last few years. Each of the DW system components is discussed in terms of its engineering challenges. Introducing each technology area is a brief description of the conventional water depth technology from which the new, DW concepts have evolved. The basis for selection of particular field configurations are discussed.

This course is designed for a broad non-technical audience. While the course is intended to be interactive and participatory, most technical calculations are eliminated and use of technical terminology is minimized. During this course participants will learn about Oil and gas facilities terminology, fundamentals of commercial and contract issues, key areas in oil and gas production surface facilities, non-technical fundamentals of technology and processes and various treatment processes and technologies that are selected for differing gas compositions.

This course is most effective when attended by an entire team. Team members will develop and refine the skills essential for high performance teams. Emphasis is placed on learning more effective ways to enhance total team functionality and maximum team productivity. Individual communication styles will be assessed and examined to identify the most appropriate uses of team strengths. This course has been constructed to maximize opportunity for intact teams to strengthen team performance and team productivity.

This course is an in-depth look at artificial lift, specifically for wells using continuous-flow gas lift or electrical submersible pumps (ESPs). During this course participants will get understanding of production systems, role of artificial lift in optimizing production, analysis and trouble shooting of continuous-flow gas lift systems, ESP with detailed pump, motor, cable and shroud designs, handling of gas and solids.

This course provides opportunities to apply the tools, techniques and management systems of environmental management in petrochemicals industries. Participants work as a member of a team of environmental specialists to develop and improve the Environmental Management System and environmental performance of a fictitious but highly realistic case study. The course is designed to introduce participants to a range of environmental challenges, including policy development, conducting environmental reviews, tackling environmental issues including waste management, energy efficiency, pollution control and emergency planning, environmental monitoring and becoming an “agent for change” in their own organisations. During this course participants will learn about Effective application of Environmental Management Systems, Assessing environmental impact, Environmental risk management, Developing environmental improvement programs, Pollution control, Emergency preparedness and response, Environmental communication, Environmental performance monitoring, Environmental auditing, Environmental reporting and Management review.
