Adapt recognised practice on fluid dynamics in pipeline networks to local constraints without hollowing it out.
Fluid and Gas Dynamics in Complex Pipeline Networks
A working programme in fluid dynamics in pipeline networks for managers who have to deliver with existing resources.
Course Overview
Regulators and insurers increasingly want documented evidence of how fluid dynamics in pipeline networks is controlled. Deferred maintenance and deferred decisions on pipeline networks both accrue interest. The professional literature on this part of energy and hydrocarbon operations converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in fluid dynamics in pipeline networks, not around theory headings. The content is relevant to those who own this aspect of energy and hydrocarbon operations and to those who are held accountable for its results. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from pipeline networks, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what fluid dynamics in pipeline networks has actually achieved. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting pipeline networks and under-invest in testing it. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to this area of energy and hydrocarbon operations that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
