Oil and Gas Facility assets are designed, engineered, installed and forgotten except when a failure or incident occurs. As operations proceed, 20, 40, 60,+… years, modifications, replacements and additions are made. As time passes, few companies know what facility assets they have and what replacements and changes have been made; let alone where. This training program is an extensive and dynamic one (1) day course that covers a practical cost effective approach for facility pipeline asset inventory. Use of today's electronic tools including GIS & Cloud allows for a comprehensive inventory of pipeline assets.
A laptop is required for this training.

Detailed Course Description

The course is geared to provide enough knowledge on the fundamentals of implementing an asset inventory program as part of a company's comprehensive Integrity Management Program (IMP) strategy to protect new and existing above and underground oil and gas plant facilities such as pump,
compressor, booster, dehydration, separation, meter stations, etc. It is a high to mid-level course focusing on the following:
Pre-Assessment of Facility
Communication with Company Team
Review of Drawings
Physical Walk Through
Operational Statuses of Lines
Non Operating Lines – Physically Isolated
Not In Service Lines – Connected
Operating Lines
Smart Isometric Drawings – Can be used to compare to AutoCAD & Micro Station
Additional Coordination with Facility Personnel
Piping Utilization Analysis
Threat Matrix
Monitoring Technology
Corrosion Data Management System – RSTRENG, Corrosion Rates, Re-inspection intervals, etc.
Risk Analysis – Analysis and RoF/CoF
Recommendations
Reports
Use of the VisualAIM software as a tool to expedite facility asset inventory, smart iso-drawings and risk based analysis is included.
