Overview

About this programme

This specialized programme is designed to equip oil and gas professionals with the knowledge and practical skills required to ensure the safe, reliable, and efficient operation of pipeline systems through effective integrity management and risk-based inspection (RBI). The course covers pipeline degradation mechanisms, integrity assessment, corrosion management, inspection planning, risk analysis, fitness-for-service evaluation, and regulatory compliance. Through practical exercises, industry case studies, and real-world applications, participants will develop the competencies needed to minimize pipeline failures, optimize maintenance strategies, extend asset life, and strengthen operational reliability.

Who Should Attend

  • Pipeline engineers
  • Integrity and asset management professionals
  • Inspection and maintenance engineers
  • Corrosion engineers
  • HSE managers and officers
  • Operations and maintenance supervisors
  • Reliability engineers
  • Oil and gas consultants
