Course Description

The increase in the size and complexity of facilities of process operations has resulted in maintenance being accepted as an important mainstream function in oil and gas companies. This course provides the participants with the means to properly operate and support the facilities of process operations in a way based on the good acquaintance with the modern technologies applied in this field. Trouble-shooting of crude oil processing and gas processing units are inclusive. Also, an effective SCADA system provides better front end for the process operators with enhanced graphics and plant mimics and also helps process and instrumentation engineers for better diagnostics and maintenance. A special emphasis on real life implementations, case studies and international standards would ensure participants to co-relate the theory with their day to day practice for the better production works.

Course Goal

To enhance the participants’ knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to maintain the facilities of process operations of crude oil in good operational conditions and address the operation and control of a SCADA system and the associated devices and methods of control. This will include the applications of the control philosophy of SCADA for electrical facilities as well as the petrochemical industry for the production control.

Course Objectives

By the end of this course, participant will be able to:

• Define troubleshooting.
• Identify the steps of troubleshooting.
• Understand the process of elimination
• Perform trouble-shooting of crude oil processing units
• Operate &check control systems functions (DCS, PLC, UPS, SCADA, etc.)

Who Can Benefit

• Controllers.
• Instrumentation staff.
• Production staff.
• Maintenance Engineers.
• Supervisors interested to work in the field of SCADA, DCS/ Automation and Process Control.
