This course aims to acquire best practices of production facilities control room operation through role-play situations on integrated Oil & Gas production plant dynamic simulator.
analyze and anticipate the behavior of main control loop structures (DCS and SIS systems architecture and functionalities),
explain production equipment, process operating parameters, and perform troubleshooting,
implement proactive, anticipatory control room operation and acquire a safety mindset,
react and act in a structured manner to anomalies and plant upsets,
enforce safety guidelines during downgraded and critical situations.
Experienced control room operators and production supervisors looking to advance their know-how in control room operation
GETTING STARTED - DCS FUNCTIONALITIES FOR PROPER ANALYSIS
Familiarization with HMI functions and operations.
DCS tools review.
PROCESS CONTROL & SAFETY INSTRUMENTED SYSTEMS

Well, start-up (ramp-up) and shutdown.
Analysis of automatic good control.
Well, monitoring and detection of abnormal conditions.
ROTATING MACHINERY OPERATION
Centrifugal pumps.
Centrifugal compressors:
Technology review, the study of process and auxiliary lines, protection systems.
Start-up and shutdown sequences.
Analysis of operating conditions and operating parameters.
PROCESS UPSET MANAGEMENT
Alarms: priorities management and decision making.
Becoming aware of the need for anticipation VS on-alarm action.
Managing and predicting process disturbances by using trend views. Use of trends to anticipate deviations.
Global plant performance checks: identification and implementation of a routine checks roadmap.
Shift report and impact of a faulty report through role-play situations.
Process upsets: learning to react and act in a structured manner.
Identification, analysis, and containment of process upsets according to the learned methodology.
Example of simulator exercises performed:
Loss of centrifugal compressor.
Loss of cooling media.
Production rate decrease.
Unexpected slugging.
ESD activation due to process safety trip.
SAFETY IN OPERATION
Learning to operate the plant in critical situations, to make adequate decisions, to follow-up on actions performed.
Because supervisory levels are the link between the executive and senior management levels, achieving the organization's objectives, increasing productivity and overall performance of the organization, affects the effectiveness and efficiency of supervisors' performance.
And because of the skills of supervisors in any organization in need of continuous development, and to acquire advanced tools and methods that reflect on the deepening of these skills and activate their role in motivating individuals working, and push them to commit to the goals of the organization.
You need this conference to learn about supervisory skills and advanced methods, to be able to play an effective and supervisory role in your organization.
Managing an office has become an increasingly sophisticated and complex job. The increased demand for speed and accuracy, knowledge of new technology, and an increasingly diverse workforce bring challenges and also opportunities for growth. This dynamic and in-depth course explores some of the more advanced skills which can help an office manager to work more confidently, creatively, and effectively.
As a supervisor, the success of your organization rests in your hands. This course provides you with the opportunity to develop highly effective and essential supervisory skills that will strengthen teamwork and organizational success. Also, this course will help you manage everyday operations with greater ease. Furthermore, it will help you leverage both your managerial and people skills to meet your new challenges as the 21st-century supervisor.
This course is designed for participants to introduce to key issues and themes in international development.
Participants will explore and engage in academic debates and discussions around a set of key factors that shape, influence, and constrain the development and prosperity of nations.
The course will explore a number of key themes in international development, including how questions of gender and generation shape the impact of poverty; how processes of globalization, migration, and violent conflict impact development; and how development and the environment are linked.
It also considers what exactly we mean by poverty, and how different ways of understanding poverty feed into different approaches to tackling it.
It will also consider development institutions: what are the key institutions in the architecture of international development? How do they differ, and what are the challenges and opportunities they present? Through this module, participants will gain a solid background in the various factors which shape current approaches to and debates on international development.
By introducing participants to a range of problems in economic development, we will look to analyze how economic theory and models can explain the lack of development in some nations. We will apply such theory to real-world economies to understand the nature of the problems they face and how effective policies can be in tackling the problems.
A five-day course on the practical aspects of piping and pipeline design, integrity, maintenance, and repair. The participants will obtain an in-depth understanding of the ASME B31 code rules and API standards, their technical basis, and practical application to field conditions.
Corporate/Public governance and risk management are critical There is increasing attention being paid to corporate governance and risk management in business schools and among legislators.
