Dear Colleague, The oil and gas industry is considered one of the most important industries on the planet. The raw materials, products and resources provided by this industry have many functions, including fuelling our transportation systems and heating our homes. The oil and gas industry is also an intrinsic part of global employment and one of the most profitable sectors within our world economy. The industry is a driving force in both our daily lives and the modern world. Activities within the oil and gas industry can be divided into three large areas: exploration, production and commercialisation. All three sectors involve the transportation of oil, gas and other related products. Pipelines are generally the most economical way to transport large quantities of oil and gas over land and subsea. Oil and gas often has to be transported from offshore facilities therefore pipelines offer a convenient solution. In comparison to rail or road transportation, pipelines are more cost efficient, providing a lower cost per unit as well as a higher capacity. The central objective of this popular course, which consists of six modules, is to provide the participant with the fundamental and high level principles behind the design, construction, integrity and operation of onshore and offshore pipelines. Delivered by distance learning, the course offers the flexibility of learning in your own time and environment, so you can easily be part of a broad range of people who will benefit from studying this course. Written by specialists in their fields, the modules address the important issues and with the self-assessment questions, help to draw out key points so you can check your understanding of the topic, before taking the online tests. The course materials are available entirely online, enabling you to study when and where it suits you. I look forward to welcoming you onto the course. Howard Panza Course Director, Lead Flowline Engineer, BP
THE ADVANTAGES OF STUDYING BY DISTANCE LEARNING Increasingly, we all face more pressures in our business lives. Finding time to attend courses of any kind can be very difficult and well meant plans are often put aside indefinitely. Through distance learning, you can enjoy the full benefits of studying, whilst still in employment and without having to spend time and resources travelling. You can set the pace at which you learn, applying the knowledge, skills and expertise gained from the materials to your work straight away. The course is accessed online, giving you the flexibility and freedom to download the content from anywhere in the world at a time convenient to you and wherever you have internet access. You can read the modules online, save them to your computer or print them out. Take advantage of the online course forum to meet your fellow participants and share knowledge, ideas and information at any time. Each module also has an online test for you to check your understanding and get instant feedback on your results.

COURSE SYLLABUS Module One
- Quality assurance • Methods of onshore and offshore pipeline installation
Introduction to Pipeline Engineering This module provides a brief history of the pipeline and technical background to the design of pipelines used in the transport of oil and gas, making emphasis on the following aspects: • Basic pipeline concepts and definitions • Introduction to the stages of a pipeline project • Description and general requirements of standards, codes and regulations • Introduction to the principles of pipeline design construction and installation. • Wall thickness calculation based on different design codes or standards - Case studies on code selection Module Two
Module Four
Pipeline Hydraulic Analysis The aim of this module is to provide the participant with the flow/hydraulic principles associated with pipelines. The module includes: • The thermodynamic principles and flow properties of the different flow transported by pipelines • Basic flow calculations for gases, liquids and multiphase pipelines • Problems caused by changes in flow condition during the pipeline’s operations (wax and hydrate formation, etc) - Case studies on prevention • Exercise on flow calculations
Material Selection and Corrosion Control The objective of this module is to provide an overview of the material selection process for pipeline fabrication, as well as the method for controlling pipeline corrosion during the pipeline life-cycle: • Introduction to material science including the properties of steel and other materials used for pipeline fabrication • Process of pipeline material selection, including code/standard requirements - Case study • Manufacturing process, including welding standards, procedures and NDT techniques for qualifications • Introduction to corrosion, including definition of the corrosion phenomenon and chemical principles • Types of internal and external corrosion • Method to prevent or mitigate corrosion in pipelines - How corrosion allowance is determined or selected Module Three
