About This Course
This intense, comprehensive, and practical course studies all aspects of instrumentation and process control with particular focus on the practical application of instrumentation principles and equipment used in oil and gas facilities. This course focuses on the practical aspects of managing, evaluating, selecting, specifying, installing, operating and trouble-shooting process instrumentation and control systems. A proper understanding of instrumentation and control engineering practices allows engineers to coordinate and execute instrumentation projects with contractors doing the work.
Who Should Attend
This course can be beneficial for those who are engaged in Managing, Evaluating, Selecting, Installing, Operating, Maintaining, Testing or Trouble-shooting instrumentation and process control of EPC projects or those working in the filed. Their job title include but not limited to:
- Project Managers and Engineers
- Development Engineers
- Mechanical Engineers (Static/Rotating)
- Operations Managers, Supervisors and Engineers
- Foremen, Superintendents, or Supervisors
- Process, Well, Panel Operators and Other Operations Personnel
