INTRODUCTION
Oil and Gas Production Plants comprise both static and rotating equipment that represent main capital investment. Proper design, operation and maintenance of these equipment would increase their availability and reliability thus, ensure good return on investment. Understanding of the operation parameters effects and implementation of effective condition monitoring methods improve equipment health, extend their life time and mitigate the associated risks. in other hand Selection of proper equipment with the application of effective control and condition monitoring methods would reduce their down time thus, save organization huge maintenance and operation costs. Regular monitoring and inspection techniques can help in providing basis for estimating the health of the existing components of the equipment as well as the overall risk assessment.
So in This course we will learn the design, inspection, and testing methods of static equipment [e.g., storage tanks, valves, boilers, heat exchangers and piping systems] according to the relevant standards to perform the fitness for service (FFS) analysis. The most up-to-date methods of equipment protection methodologies together with maintenance activities, including necessary repairs as prevention of failures.Working principles, operation, and condition monitoring methods of rotating equipment [e.g., motors, pumps, compressors, steam, and gas turbines] with modern maintenance strategies to improve equipment availability and to mitigate failures. and recognize bout the Types of rotating equipment used for oil and gas industry.Motors: design, operation, common failures, and maintenance methods, Pumps: design, operation, common failures, and maintenance methods, Compressors: design, operation, common failures, and maintenance methods,Steam Turbines: design, operation, common failures, and maintenance methods, Gas Turbines: design, operation, common failures, and maintenance methods, Rotating equipment energy consumption optimisation methods
