Introduction:
Â
In any Oil / Gas Production business, large capital investments are made in pressure vessels, storage tanks, piping systems, and spinning machinery for fluid conveyance. A long equipment service life is most likely to be achieved through careful material selection and good component construction. Application of appropriate diagnostic techniques and ongoing monitoring are necessary to prevent material degradation and aging. Techniques for routine monitoring and inspection can help in giving a basis for determining the condition of the equipment’s existing parts and the overall risk assessment.
The key features of inspection and testing of storage tanks and pipe systems in accordance with the relevant API standards will be explained to the trainees in order to undertake the fitness for service (FFS) analysis. The most up-to-date methods of equipment protection methodologies will be presented together with maintenance activities, including necessary repairs as prevention of failures. The approach of risk assessment and management with reference to the overall equipment integrity will also be covered in this Operation, Diagnostics, and Maintenance of Equipment for Oil and Gas Production training course.
