What are the Goals?

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

• Understand what entails in field development planning (FDP) and project management
• Understand how the fabrication shop drawings are generated in the fabrication yards
• Understand fabrication, cutting and welding, blasting and painting, erection and assembly techniques in the fabrication yards
• Understand the cranes and lifting techniques
• Understand Erection, Loadout techniques and sea-fastening implementation at Fabrication yards
• Understand the selection of the major support marine vessels and major installation equipment for offshore installation works.
• Fully understand the structure and topsides installation techniques
• Fully understand what are involved in mobilization of marine vessels, construction crew, marine crew and construction equipment

This BTS training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

• Field Engineers
• Construction Supervisors
• Project engineers
• Operations Engineers
• Work pack Engineers
• Structural Engineers
• Met ocean Engineers
• Pipeline Discipline Engineers
• Subsea Equipment Engineers
• Various Discipline Engineers (structural, piping, equipment, electrical, instrumentation)
• Maintenance Engineers
• Contract Administrators, Buyers and Procurement Executives
• Cost Estimating, Project Control and Planning Engineers
• Managers and executives who are new to fabrication works of Topsides and Jacket fabrication works in shipyards.
• Other Engineers and technicians who need to update their current Oil and Gas industry experience and wanting to move to Offshore Field development Projects

Relevant international and typical client engineering standards will be referred to during the course. Basic engineering formulas and calculations, flowcharts and diagrams will be used to illustrate the principles and steps required for each part of the work. Real-life project examples as well as video clips will be used to demonstrate the fabrication and load-out techniques and to aid the familiarization and learning of the participants.
