Oil and Gas Facility Design and Layout Training Course.

Introduction:

The design and layout of oil and gas facilities are essential in ensuring the safe, efficient, and sustainable extraction, processing, and transportation of hydrocarbons. A well-structured facility design can optimize operations, reduce risks, improve safety, and enhance environmental compliance. This 5-day training course is designed to provide professionals with an in-depth understanding of the principles, practices, and advanced methodologies used in the design and layout of oil and gas facilities, from upstream exploration to downstream processing.

Course Objectives:

By the end of this training course, participants will:

  1. Gain a comprehensive understanding of the design process for oil and gas facilities.
  2. Learn the key principles of layout planning, space optimization, and safety considerations.
  3. Understand how to integrate engineering disciplines (civil, mechanical, electrical, and control systems) into facility design.
  4. Become familiar with the latest technologies and industry best practices in facility design and layout.
  5. Gain knowledge of regulatory requirements and environmental considerations that impact facility design.
