Corrosion Management Strategy of Pipelines Top Side Facilities and Subsurface Equipment
Introduction
The course contents go beyond the basics of the coating process and related inspection activities to a level, which shall enable participants to fully manage all coatings aspects from the point of understanding the basic composition of coatings products until developing the closeout report of completed coating project. The course address also the use of non-metallic materials and its application particularly in areas where conventional coatings fail to provide the desired performance.
Course Objectives:
The summary of the course objectives are:
- Participants will learn by active interaction during the program through the use of exercises, syndicate, and group discussion on the program topics and real-life issues.
- Course size will be limited to 20 delegates to allow effective coverage, stimulate group discussion, and enable instructor-to-delegate interaction.
- Throughout the course, delegates will be encouraged to discuss their organization-specific problems, seek group views and guided to develop their own corrective action agenda for implementation upon return to their workstations.
- The handout materials do not only include the 350 plus PowerPoint slides but also include a carefully designed text of over 200 pages which explained all technical matters discussed during the 5 days course.
Who Should Attend?
The target audiences are those Corrosion, Maintenance, Production, Operation and Projects Engineers and Supervisors who during the course of doing their core business activities will be engaged in corrosion and chemical treatments related activities and non-metallic materials applications of pipelines, topside facilities and downhole equipment.
- All Production and operation engineer and supervisors who are engaged in the daily routine plant operation and maintenance and has a defined business relation with the implementation of the corporate Corrosion Management strategy.
- Key leaders in different operation and maintenance crafts.
- Corrosion, inspection, material, and integrity engineers.
- Coatings engineers, coordinators, supervisors, and inspectors.
- Junior engineers whose development plan is targeting any of the above posts.
- Specialty chemicals suppliers, Oil & Gas services providers, and construction companies project leaders and technical representatives.
