SAFETY IN OIL AND GAS OPERATION

Introduction
In this programmed you will learn how to:-
 Enhance safety awareness of the Plant Operators
 Reduce loss
 Increase productivity
 Increase Plant Utilization
Course Objectives:
Participants attending the programmed will:-
 Recognize the hazards associated with petroleum production
upstream and downstream
 Learn how to evaluate different types of risk
 Develop the skills of applying risk assessment techniques
relevant to petroleum production
 Develop a strategy for planning and implementing risk
reduction action plans
 Appreciate the role of commercial software for modeling
dispersion, fires and explosion
 Develop a strategy to reduce risks to a level that is as low as
reasonably practicable ‘ALARP’
Who should attend?
All personnel involved in implementing the Company’s HSE

Management System
Production, process, mechanical, control, maintenance and HSE
personnel.
Programme Summary
This programme is aimed at providing hands-on experience on the

application of loss prevention principles relevant to a wide variety
of industries.
This programme will enable attendees to identify hazards,
particularly those resulting from human error, evaluating risks and
targeting resources to prevent accidents through effective risk
management.
The programme will also provide familiarity with the concept of
Safety Case for major hazards, accidents analysis and modern risk
assessment techniques for planning and implementing action
plans.

ELECTRICAL PREVENTIVE MAINTENACE

The third and newest form of Maintenance Program is formally
known as "Predictive Maintenance". Predictive Maintenance (PdM) is
based on the measurement and trending of a machine’s condition.
Periodic Monitoring and Analysis is by far the most widely used of the
various PdM technologies.
Also, the course is designed to give a solid, practical
understanding of common process control equipment and of the actual
concepts and factors involved in setting up, maintaining, tuning, and
troubleshooting a variety of control systems and electrical equipments.
1st day:
• Electrical drawing
• Standard code of the electrical drawing
• Multivariate control
• Adaptive tuning and predictive/process diagnostics
• Control system process (PID controller)
• Control loop tuning methods
• Basic principle of industrial equipments
• Characteristics of electrical equipments maintenance
• History of electrical equipment maintenance
• Principle of Pd M
• Principle of predictive control
2nd day:
• Advantage of predictive maintenance
• Disadvantage of predictive maintenance
• Requirement of PdM
3rd day:
• Instrumentation and Measuring Techniques
• Condition monitoring
• Breakdown in electrical equipments
• Causes of breakdown electrical equipments
• Troubleshooting of process control systems
• Troubleshooting of electrical equipments
• Main problems of the tuner
4th day:
• Diagnosis methods
• PdM of Electrical of Motors
• PdM of Static equipments
• Predictive controller
• Diagnosis of process control functions (PID, SERVO, PWM)
5th day:
• PdM for Detection of overload, Cable, Circuit breakers,
Distribution panels, Fault detection, Corona, Arcing, Insulation,
Power quality, etc.
• DCS troubleshooting
• Practical application
• Software programs
Duration:
5 Days
