Couse description

This intensive 5-day course provides the essential knowledge for working with Pressure Control Equipment covering all aspects from measurement through to control. It is of a bespoke nature designed for works normally carried out by Well Services Department and concentrates on the type of activities normally carried out in the Field by this department. Industry Standard Instrumentation is described in detail referencing the specific Vendor Data. Essential Safety aspects relating to Pressure Control are covered in detail.

course objective

At the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

  • Define pressure and describe relation of pressure, force and area. Units of pressure and their conversion.
  • Describe various types of pressure measuring instruments and transducers with their construction, principle of operation, advantages and disadvantages, errors associated with each instrument and methods to correct the errors.
  • Describe the working principle of pressure regulators and pressure switches and explain calibration methods of various pressure instruments
  • Explain what is Control loop and function of each component in control loop. Explain the role of controller in control loop.
  • Define feedback and explain Open and Close loop with examples.
  • Define Process Variable, Measured Variable, Set Point, Deviation/ Error and Output in terms of process controller.
  • Define Direct and Reverse action of controller and give some examples of Direct and Reverse acting controllers.
  • Understand the use of Control Valve in Closed Loop Control Systems
  • Understand the valve type characteristics and applications.
  • Be able to explain cavitation and flashing cause /effects and methods to minimize.
  • Understand the use of the Flow Coefficient Factor
  • Understand the applications for Shutdown / Blowdown and Process Shutdown Valves
  • Understand the necessary Safety requirements relating to Pressure Control Systems.

course methodology

This training course uses both conventional and non-traditional techniques. It utilises small group and facilitated plenary discussions as well as instruction to explore key concepts, models, tools and techniques. Hands-on exercises and case studies are used to practice the application of knowledge and use of skills. Structured reviews provide the opportunity to consider how the learning can be applied to the delegates’ own work.
