ABOUT THIS TRAINING COURSE
This course will provide detailed learning to the various aspects of the design,
analysis and operation of subsea control systems for a variety of field
development options to allow effective management of subsea facilities either
from offshore structures or from shore bases. This will include power and
telemetry focussing on electrical, hydraulic and electro-hydraulic systems, shut
down systems, and application of intelligent monitoring and 'smart' fields.
Training Objectives
By attending this course, participants will be able to:
* To provide detailed knowledge and understanding of the requirements for, and
design of, subsea electrical, electro-hydraulic, hydraulic and programmable
control systems.
* Knowledge of the components and uses of a wide variety of subsea control
systems the requirements for and design implications, of umbilicals and
control lines (power and telemetry)
* Knowledge of, and ability to model, power requirements subsea and detailed
understanding of the requirements and objectives of pre-commissioning, both
at the factory and in situ.
* Knowledge of the standards involved in design of equipment, control and
application of manual and automatic shut-down valves, and emergency response
systems
* Introduction to design of redundancy and the role of spare capacity and to be
able to put this knowledge to effect to contribute to detailed field design.
* An understanding of obsolescence management in subsea control systems
Target Audience
This course is intended for Offshore and Onshore Subsea Production Control
Systems; Engineers, Technicians, Supervisors, Operators; Graduates; Apprentices;
transfers from other industries, and existing staff with a limited exposure to
Production Control and a need to understand the more technical aspects of the
system.
Companies not directly involved in the day-to-day support of the industry, but
occasionally involved in supplying and supporting operators; manufacturers and
suppliers of Oil and Gas equipment and services may also find this a useful
course to understand how their equipment and technical expertise is integrated
into the Offshore system.
Trainer
For most of his working life, your expert course leader has been in a role that
has enabled him to pass on skills and knowledge to others. A full-time role in
Training and Development came about in 1996 with the offer to take up a
full-time teaching post at Aberdeen College. In 1998, he was recruited by
Kvaerner Oilfield Products, an Oil & Gas industry company, specialising in
Subsea Control Systems, to develop and implement a Training & Competence program
acceptable for its staff of over 600 and their client companies - a challenge he
could not resist. In 2003, he broadened his horizons and became an independent
Training & Development consultant. Building a reputation for delivering training
and development to the Oil & Gas industry to the highest standards, he later
joined Jee Ltd, a leading subsea engineering and training company based in
Aberdeen. He was tasked with a wide portfolio of training, coaching & mentoring
to achieve high levels of competence for the client's staff and customers. He is
also a Science and Engineering Ambassador (Scotland), promoting the need for
engineers and technicians for Scotland's industries, a frequent consultant to
the European Economic & Social Committee for standardising Vocational Skills
training and competence throughout the EU. He holds memberships in the Society
of Operations Engineers, Chartered Institute of Personnel & Development and
Society of Underwater Technologies.
POST TRAINING COACHING SUPPORT (OPTIONAL)
To further optimise your learning experience from our courses, we also offer
individualized 'One to One' coaching support for 2 hours post training. We can
help improve your competence in your chosen area of interest, based on your
learning needs and available hours. This is a great opportunity to improve your
capability and confidence in a particular area of expertise. It will be
delivered over a secure video conference call by one of our senior trainers.
They will work with you to create a tailor-made coaching program that will help
