Pipeline Engineering
Pipeline Engineering, Construction and Operations
Pipelines are generally the most economical way to transport large quantities of liquids and gases over land and below the sea, such as oil and gas which often has to be transported from offshore production facilities to land based refineries and onwards for final delivery.
Relevant for both onshore and offshore pipelines, this course equips you with a multidisciplinary understanding of pipelines and enables you to study the full cycle of pipeline engineering.
Outcome
- Material selection, design, construction, installation, flow, and maintenance
- Identification of pipeline defect and its assessment
- Risk Base Inspection (RBI) and IM of onshore and offshore pipelines
