For the
successful operation of the FPSO it is of vital importance to understand the
process from the wellhead through the topside process, storage and offload.
Often putting together an operations team receives scarce publicity despite
being one of the most important steps to a successful project. This 5-day
training course will present the process from the wellhead through topside
process, storage and offload.
The
FPSO Operation and Maintenance training course will focus on the key technical
challenges and risks associated the operation and maintenance of an FPSO. It
will arm the participant with a wealth of knowledge to help them advance their
project.
This training course will feature:
Operation and maintenance –
Guidance and General Requirements
Environmental Influences affecting
FPSO operation
Cargo and ballast tanks
Offloading operations
Control and safety systems
Safety in operation and
maintenance
