 Carbon capture and storage In association with

networks
About the course
Carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) is a key
technology that enables hydrocarbon-producing countries to
meet zero-carbon targets. The UK, the EU, Norway and 23
countries have pledged to become carbon zero, with most
targeting carbon neutrality by 2050.
CCUS involves capture of waste CO2 - from power
generation, industry, hydrogen production and biomass - for
long-term geologically stable storage. A transport network
must safely and reliably connect the CO2 capture to the
storage location.
This course focuses on the design and operation of full-chain
CCUS networks from capture to storage. Learners will leave
this course understanding the opportunities of CCUS projects
and empowered to lead discussions about hydrocarbon
developments in a zero carbon future.
Learning outcomes
Explain how CCUS is a key technology in creating a net-
zero future for the hydrocarbon industry

 Fundamentals of flow assurance
engineering
In association with

About the course Learning outcomes

Flow assurance (FA) is critical for effective design and operation
of oil and gas pipeline systems. The aim is to assure the flow
of hydrocarbon fluids economically from the reservoir to
processing facilities. Professional application of this discipline
enables the maximum operability, reliability and viability of an oil
and gas asset.
Managing these challenges is becoming more complex
because of development of fields under harsher conditions,
such as high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) reservoirs,
deepwater fields and heavy oil.
Describe the role of flow assurance throughout an oil and
gas project lifecycle
Analyse the relationships of the reservoir-flowlines-topsides
Predict flow assurance challenges to multiphase flow in
pipelines and their possible mitigation
Develop a systematic approach to perform reliable flow
assurance analysis in design of oil and gas system
Apply lessons learnt from case studies to real world projects

By completing this course, learners will be able to assess flow

assurance issues that may affect a pipeline during its design
and operation. Learners will be able to do this by performing a
reliable analysis and providing solutions to assure uninterrupted
oil and gas production. Learners will work through professional
exercises and discuss case studies to apply their knowledge.

 Reeling calculations
About the course
Detailing the engineering behind reel-lay installation, this is
an advanced course that demystifies this complex field. Ideal
for reeling companies and anyone involved in the design and
installation of pipelines, this course explains the fundamentals of
reel-lay.
The tutor will explain key design aspects, such as the implications
of cumulative plastic strain, ovalisation and weld defects using
worked examples and exercises. Learners will receive guidance on
codes and patents and review lessons learnt from past successes
and failures, developing their skills for installation projects.
Learning outcomes
Explain the principles and processes of pipeline fabrication
and installation using reel-lay
Identify and assess the key design aspects of the reeling
process, such as the implications of cumulative plastic strain,
ovalisation and weld defects, while also listing the key pitfalls
Calculate the required tensions and forces in the pipeline and
on associated equipment during reeling, and also the limits
for these forces to prevent failure
Explain how strain concentrations can form during the reeling
process, the potential effects of these concentrations, and the
safeguards against them
Specify materials and qualification testing for pipe installed by
reel-lay
