Course Overview
This technical webinar course will provide knowledge, understanding and application of problem solving and troubleshooting tools and techniques that are used in oil and gas facilities. The course will cover what normal operating conditions are, what may constitute reduced performance and will explore failure modes and criticality analysis. The need for fact-based decision-making is supported throughout the case study reviews and data gathering, validation, analysis and data interpretation methods are continually discussed.
Both onshore and offshore oil and gas facilities are used to demonstrate common problems and best practices in troubleshooting. This is a technical course but will also explore human factors in facilities performance. It also provides best practice team problem-solving methodology and looks at state-of-the-art initiatives in troubleshooting from other industries’ best practices.
Who Is This Course For?
The Troubleshooting Oil and Gas Processing Facilities webinar course is designed for Technicians/Process/Facilities personnel with 3-8 years of experience, facilities engineering team leaders/supervisors, and senior facilities operational personnel. The webinar course will also add to the tools and techniques for safety and security personnel.
What Are The Course Objectives?
There are two main course objectives.
The first is to provide participants with the knowledge, skills, attributes, competencies and confidence to be able to successfully and effectively apply problem-solving and troubleshooting methods in practice.
The second is to encourage participants to critically evaluate the use of teams in the identification and resolution of work-related problems using troubleshooting methods. Accordingly, many, problem-solving and troubleshooting methods are provided to enable individual and team use.
What Will I Learn?
By the end of this course you will:
- Appreciate the difference between managing risk, troubleshooting, optimization, and performance improvement
- Be able to apply a structured methodology to the approach in troubleshooting
- Recognise interdependence, interaction and interrelationships of systems, processes, equipment and parts management
- Have various methods on how to gather, validate, and utilize the data needed for problem-solving and troubleshooting
- Be able to use methods for identifying the best solution when several feasible solutions are available
- Improve your understanding of problem recognition and therefore gain a good understanding and improve your ability to recognize trouble when it is occurring
- Through case study analysis and classroom exercises become aware of typical causes of problems, and their solutions, for the main types of processes and equipment used in the oil and gas facilities.

A Trainer's View
ʺ Troubleshooting is often seen as the responsibility of highly skilled individual technicians that have years of experience on the job. This may be the case in most engineering environments but the use of tools and techniques for troubleshooting and problem solving is essential in the modern gas and oil sector. Working within teams and facilitating the use of advanced engineering methods such as FMECA, RCA and risk analysis methods has advanced our understanding and application of troubleshooting.
This practical webinar is aimed at equipping learners with tools and techniques that they can confidently apply in their workplace. ʺ
Course Fees' Payment
All course fees must be paid 48 hours prior to commencement of the webinar / courses.
