This course is Designed, Developed, and will be Delivered under

ISO Quality Standards
Modelling and Analysis of
Fixed Offshore Structures
using SACS Software

WHY CHOOSE THIS TRAINING COURSE?

This PetroKnowledge training course will review in detail

the analysis and design of fixed offshore structures
platforms. It will cover all the stages of the modelling
design and analysis from the model preparation until the
result interpretation the structure. The overall objective is
to provide participants with deep understanding of the
design and analysis of fixed offshore platforms, specifically,
the concept, design, analysis and results interpretation of
modeling, in place, load out and lifting analysis of jackets
and topsides.
This training course will highlight:
• Concept selection
• Design stages
• Jacket Fabrication
• Topside Fabrication
• Load out and
• Installation
HOW WILL THIS TRAINING COURSE
BE PRESENTED?
This PetroKnowledge training course will utilize a variety
of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum
understanding, comprehension and retention of the
information presented. The daily workshops will be highly
interactive and participative. The illustration will depend
on actual usage of the software and real life examples.
In addition, the training course delivery emphasizes the
use of group discussions and case studies in order to
ensure participants can put the newly learned concepts
to use.

WHAT ARE THE GOALS? ORGANISATIONAL IMPACT

By the end of this intensive 5 Day training course,
participants will learn to:
• Understand in depth the modelling and analysis of
fixed offshore structure
• Develop high skills about modelling of fixed
offshore structures
• Execute the modelling and analysis efficiently
