1. To apply and use the automation technologies as a fundamental factor to increase operational efficiency and production process productivity.
2. To understand the concepts and principles of measuring, instrumentation and process control as key elements for the automation of hydrocarbon production process

NOTE: Objectives for each day will be discussed with the participants and will be verified at closure of each day.

a) to verify if the objectives for this day were met
b) to determine if any adjustments need to be made to the program of the following day (if relevant)

This course is intended for individuals working as production and surface facility engineers to increase the understanding of the automation, instrumentation, measurement and process control.

NOTE:

In order to achieve a “Skill” level, further practical learning through
e.g. On-the-Job training or participation in projects and/or assignments is required

NOTE:

Although the course is aimed at a “Knowledge” (Understand) level, practical exercises and case studies will form an integral part of the learning process.

The objectives and modules of the training course “Automation, Instrumentation, Measurements & Process Control” are directly linked to the Competence Assurance Programme (CAP) as developed by SOGOS Academy. Skills are selected from the SOGOS Academy skills library and these are translated into the training course curriculum. This approach ensures that each training event will demonstrable contribute to the competence of course participants.

The management framework CAP ensures competence of all employees through:

• the use of a unique set of skills standard to the oil & gas industry
• a common language for skills and competence
• the use of development/job profiles for each employee
• fit-for-purpose training targets
• a control mechanism to measure state of competence
