Course Description

This training course includes a wide range of subjects
with many applications in Oil & Gas, Chemical and Process industries,
related to hydrocarbons and chemical processing. This course provides an
overview of important elements of process safety as they are often encountered
in today’s industrial practice. The emphasis is on engineering design aspects
of Process Safety Management and it will highlight the safeguarding aspects of
processing equipment inside the plant.

Techniques for analyzing and mitigating process safety
hazards applicable to Oil & Gas processing will be reviewed. Integration of
the concepts required to achieve an optimum approach to Process Safety
Engineering is the main goal of this course. Exercises and useful examples will
be utilized throughout the course to emphasize the key learning points.

The overall purpose of this course is for learners to
learn how to identify process hazards, determine major accident hazards, and
eliminate/mitigate the risk of process safety hazards when specifying the
design of oil field processing equipment and facilities. Participants will
learn about inherently safer design, the design and operation of process safety
systems, and devices, and develop operating procedures that take into account process
safety.

What You will Learn:

How to identify hazard and assess risk in the working environment
related to production processes and design. Identify barriers in design and
engineering to be in place to safeguard plant and processes.

The
course will ensure the following understanding

·        
Comprehensive understanding of different aspects of
process design that influence process safety

·        
Ability to select an “inherently safer design” for
the entire process plant operation

·        
Knowledge on the mechanical structure integrity of
process equipment

·        
Familiarity with hazards LOPA and when to apply the
best PHA method and technique

·        
Experience with the requirements of CFR 1910, CCPS
and PSM elements.

·        
Knowledge of how to operate safely during an
emergency and co-ordinate emergency preparedness and response programmes.

·        
Employ the latest methodology on hazard
identification with various types of process plant incidents, impact and
approaches to systematic identification of hazards and risks.

Who Should
Attend

The course is intended for facility,
production and drilling engineers; supervisors and managers involved with the
design, construction or operation of production facilities or drilling
operations. The course is applicable to:

·        
All operations including onshore and offshore operations.

·        
People who are making day to day decisions regarding
operation, design, maintenance, and economics of process industry plants.

·        
Engineers, Operating Personnel, PSM Coordinator, HSE
Managers and Engineers

·        
Ideal for veterans and those with
only a few years of experience who want to
review or broaden their understanding of process safety.

·        
Other professionals who desire a better
understanding of the subject matter.

·        
Engineers and technicians in Oil & Gas, chemical
and process industries

·        
Process, mechanical and chemical engineers

·        
Engineers and technicians who deal with reactors and
piping systems

·        
Design engineers, project engineers and HSE managers

·        
Control, automation and instrumentation engineers

·        
Operators and maintenance personnel
