Pumps & Compressors in Oil & Gas

This is an intensive 5-day course providing a comprehensive overview of pumps and compressor systems. The focus is on equipment selection; type, unit, and station configuration; and integration of these units in the process scheme in upstream and midstream oil and gas facilities.

• Selecting the appropriate integrated pump and compressors units (drivers, pumps, compressors, and auxiliary systems)
• Evaluating pump and compressor units and their drivers in multiple train configurations, parallel and series
• Identifying the key local and remote control elements of pumps and compressors as well as their drivers
• Defining the major life-cycle events, such as changes in flows, fluid composition, and operating conditions that can affect equipment selection and operating strategies
• Assessing the key pump hydraulics and compressor thermodynamics, and their effect on selection and operations
• Identifying significant operating conditioning monitoring parameters and troubleshooting techniques

Senior technicians, and system operators , operating, and maintaining pump and compressor systems in oil and gas facilities.
