PRINCE2® Foundation: In-House Training Projects fail for a variety of reasons including poor planning, lack of defined quality criteria, poor understanding of the business drivers, inadequate control, and lack of senior management involvement in other words, lack of a structured best practice approach to project delivery. PRINCE2® (6th Edition is the current version) is a structured, process-based approach to project management providing a methodology which can be easily tailored and scaled to suit all types of projects. It is the de facto standard for project management in the UK Government and is used extensively in more than 150 countries worldwide with in excess of 20,000 organizations already benefiting from its powerful approach. It can be used easily in combination with PMI®'s PMBOK® Guideto provide a robust project management methodology, or to augment an existing PMBOK®-based methodology with additional rigor around areas such as Quality, Organization, and Benefits Realization. The goals of this course are to provide participants with a thorough grounding in PRINCE2® and its benefits and to prepare them to sit the Foundation exam.

An Exciting Practical Face to Face Course working with a heat press, for anyone wanting to learn new textile skills and techniques.

About this training course This 5-days comprehensive training not only an introduction into the issue associated with the development of oil and gas fields but also provides an in depth understanding of the issues to be considered in the development of these fields. The theme throughout this training course is Flow Assurance and Innovative Technologies. Each day consists of lectures in the morning and a hands-on workshop in the afternoon. The workshop allows the participants to appreciate the design process associated with field developments. Various software will be available during the workshop to predict Multiphase flows through wells, pipelines and risers, as well as evaluating reservoir production profiles using alternative technologies to develop reservoirs. Further software to assess Surge and environmental safety will also be available. The field design approach will consider an integrated solution through modelling the reservoir decline, wells, flowlines, risers and the host facility. The participants will have a total appreciation of the methodology required to develop offshore oil and gas fields and have an understanding of all of the Flow Assurance issues and technology requirements. Training Objectives After the completion of this training course, participants will be able to: Understand the process required and identify data to analyse Flow Assurance for oil and gas fields. Examine and Identify the Flow Assurance issues required to be evaluated for oil and gas fields design. These include; Wax, Hydrates, Slugging, Corrosion, Sand Erosion, Scaling and Surge. Establish the studies to be undertaken for each area of Flow Assurance including 'Rules of Thumb' and software to be used. Prioritize the need for innovative methods and the technologies to solve Flow Assurance issues and the need for economics considerations. Appreciate the need for an integrated analysis of the oil and fields from the reservoir to the host processing facility. Gain an appreciation of the emerging and enabling technologies for offshore fields application. Dive deeper into the operational strategies requirements to mitigate Flow Assurance issues. Target Audience This training course is suitable and will greatly benefit the following specific groups: Reservoir Engineers Flow Assurance Engineers Thermodynamics Engineers Process and Chemical Engineers Pipeline Engineers Facilities Engineers Control and Subsea Engineers working in the Oil and Gas industries Engineers in other disciplines may attend that require an appreciation of Flow Assurance Course Level Intermediate Training Methods The training instructor relies on a highly interactive training method to enhance the learning process.
