Introuction

Pipeline systems for oil and gas industry play important role in modern industrial operations. The purpose of this Pipeline Operations & Maintenance training course is to present basic characteristics of efficient operation of pipelines in various engineering applications. This training course will cover the interaction of pipelines with flow moving equipment, i.e. pumps and compressors and technical characteristics of operation of pump and compressor stations.

Through this Pipeline Operations & Maintenance training course, the delegates will be introduced to main points of inspection and testing according to relevant API standards. They will also develop familiarity with methods of cleaning and other maintenance activities, including necessary repairs as prevention of failures. This AZTech training course will include several workshops with real problems from industrial practice which will enable discussions and exchange of experiences.
