The exact venue will be informed upon finalizing. Training Fees 4,250 US$ per participant for Public Training includes Materials/Handouts, tea/coffee breaks, refreshments & Buffet Lunch Training Certificate Define Management Consultancy & Training Certificate of course completion will be issued to all attendees. TRAINING OVERVIEW COURSE OBJECTIVES AND KEY BENEFITS Upon the completion of this course, each participant will learn more about X-mass tree, wellhead equipment, mechanical barriers, safety valves and wellhead control system. Also, attendees will develop a better understanding about wellhead operating procedures & working under safe conditions. They will be able to identify the relevant code & standards for Well head towers, wells, pipeline, protection & safety systems. WHO SHOULD ATTEND This course in intended for field operations, production, petroleum, reservoir and field engineers and other staff interested in X-mass trees & wellhead operations and testing. TRAINING METHODOLOGY The goals of each participant are discussed to ensure their needs are fulfilled, as far as possible. Questions are encouraged throughout, particularly at the daily wrap up sessions. This provides opportunities for participants to discuss specific issues and, if possible, find appropriate solutions. Case studies are employed to highlight particular points and appropriate video material used to illustrate particular conditions. Moreover achieving the above goals shall be implemented by the instructor whose relies on a highly interactive training method to enhance the learning process. This method ensures that all the delegates
gain a complete understanding of all the topics covered. The training environment is highly stimulating, challenge, and effective. The participants will learn by case studies. They will be able to apply all the concepts to their own organization. All attendees receive a course manual as a reference. 30% Lectures 30% Workshops & Work Presentations 20% Case Studies & Practical Exercises 20% Videos, Software & General Discussions TOPICS COVERED 1.
