Workpack Engineering for Refurbishment / Debottlenecking Works for both Onshore and Offshore Facilities

Refurbishment and debottlenecking works is a manpower-intensive and equipment-intensive phase of any onshore and offshore project. This seminar aims to provide an introduction to refurbishment and debottlenecking works, focusing on workpack preparation and execution.

With a detailed understanding of refurbishment and debottlenecking works including work pack preparation and execution, the participants will be better prepared to function in the engineering dept/function as field and discipline Engineers, refurbishment and debottlenecking project engineer, maintenance Engineers, Construction supervisors, workpack, operations or planning engineer.

This training seminar will feature:                                                                                                                                                

• Overview of field or project development planning
• Project management team required for refurbishment and debottlenecking activities
• Workpack process, definition, site survey, scoping, estimating, procurement and execution
• Mobilisation of construction crew, marine crew and construction equipment
• Refurbishment and debottlenecking activities for each engineering discipline
• Testing, inspection and specialist services required
• Commissioning activities, start-up and handover to client
• Post-project activities and final documentation

By the end of this training seminar, participants will be able to:

• Understand what entails in field development planning (FDP) and project management
• Understand the complexities of Offshore and Onshore Refurbishment and Debottlenecking activities and what the activities entail
• Understand the processes of what is involved in the Workpack Engineering and how it is timely executed during shutdowns for both onshore and offshore facilities
• Understand and appreciate the work involved for each engineering discipline and the documents that are required – for both onshore and offshore activities
• Fully understand what are involved in mobilisation of marine vessels, construction crew, marine crew and construction equipment for offshore and what equipment are required for onshore works
• Understand the scope of commissioning and post-project activities during the shutdown window for the refurbishment and debottlenecking works- both onshore and offshore facilities

The training seminar will emphasise typical details of refurbishment and debottlenecking works, using flowcharts and diagrams to illustrate their principles and steps required, in the build-up to preparing and executing a work pack. Examples and video clips of past onshore and offshore workpack engineering and debottlenecking works will be provided to aid the learning and understanding of the subject matters. Participants will also take part in group classroom exercises to reinforce their learning experience. Each participant will receive a set of seminar materials. There will also be pre-seminar as well as post-seminar assessment tests.
