Details

This 3-day course will provide an overview of the various utility systems, key selection considerations, and how they are integrated into onshore and offshore oil and gas facilities. Individuals will develop a basic understanding of the wide variety of utility systems and components, as well as how they integrate with process facilities and overall operation. System selection, relative costs, and other managerial decisions pertinent to utility operations are covered. Exercises are used to identify utility consumers, summarize utility requirements, consider high level utility systems options, and select the most energy-efficient alternatives from an onshore and offshore perspective.

Facility engineers or engineers new to utility systems who are responsible for designing, operating, and maintaining utility systems in oil and gas processing and related facilities. Most operations and planning activities depend on a fundamental knowledge of utility systems. This important subject is frequently overlooked; however, it is vital to successful oil and gas operations. Attending this course will assist participants in developing a broad background in utility systems.

At the end of this course, you should be able to list the various options in selecting utility systems:

  • Process heating systems: steam, hot oil, glycol, and water.
  • Process cooling systems: indirect-cooling water, direct-seawater.
  • Process drains – open and closed.
  • Refrigeration.
  • Power generation and distribution.
  • Instrument/plant air and breathing air.
  • Fresh and potable water.
  • Fuel systems: natural gas, diesel.
  • Firewater.
  • Inert gas systems.

Mr. Ahmad Emadi is an IChemE Fellow and Lead/Principal Process Engineer with more than 18 years of engineering design experience in international consultant engineering companies such Technip, Jacobs, WorleyParsons, KBR, Uhde, WoodGroup PSN, and Hyundai in different engineering stages (Basic & FEED, Detail Design, Pre-commissioning, Commissioning) as well as in operations. Ahmad has got a unique experience in diverse plants: FPSO, offshore platforms, onshore gas plants, compressor stations and multi-phase pipelines.
Ahmad has worked for the top Oil & Gas operator companies in the world: Shell, ExxonMobil, TOTAL, Chevron, BP, BG, BHP Billiton, and Eni, through different projects over his 18-year experience. These opportunities have enabled him to select and adopt the optimum design for each specific equipment in the Oil & Gas plant as per client specification and requirement.
Ahmad is also a part time lecturer in Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) and delivers a number of training courses for the RMIT Chemical Engineering students.
