19–22 November 2007 • Amsterdam, The NetherlandsWho Should Attend: The course is designed essentially for those professionals employed by companiesengaged in oil and gas production, as well as those with specialist functions this includes

• Process Engineers • Plant Contractors • Corrosion Control personnel• Mechanical Engineers • Material Selection personnel• R&D • Inspection personnelStaff of service companies providing corrosion inhibitors and overall corrosion services should find thecourse beneficial, as well as companies of manufacturers marketing materials, coatings and equipment forcathodic protection, inspection (NDT) and corrosion monitoring.

Course Summary: Corrosion problems have always presented a severe challenge to oil and gas producing operations. Operators plan for long periods of continuous pro-duction with maintenance scheduled for the prescribed shutdown periods. Unfortunately, corrosion does not always respect these schedules, resulting in severe economicpenalties due to loss of product. In addition, the risk of pollution and hazards to safety are other important reasons for adequate corrosion engineering. Governmental legis-lation concerning oil and gas extraction is becoming more stringent in order to minimize these risks. Furthermore, corrosion hazards have intensified with extraction in deep-er waters and in more hostile environments. Innovations aimed at reducing offshore field development costs involving reductions in platform weight, increasing use of satel-lite wells and subsea manifolds require specific attention to corrosion prevention.

The course considers external protection using corrosion resistant materials, coatings, and cathodic protection. The importance of internal corrosion and its prevention willbe examined with emphasis on material selection, coatings and use of corrosion inhibitors. The contribution of inspection (nondestructive testing), and corrosionmonitoring to the overall operation will be considered in detail. Corrosion problems concerning “risers” and subsea-lines will be considered together with methods forprotection. Various corrosion-oriented software, including “material selection” will be demonstrated and available for use by participants.

10–12 October 2007 • Amsterdam, The NetherlandsWho Should Attend: This course is intended for all engineering and construction people who have theresponsibility to make several projects happen successfully and simultaneously within their organization.This course will be most beneficial to• Project Managers • Process Engineers• Construction Managers • Project Support Personnel• Maintenance Managers • Purchasing/Procurement• IT Personnel • Material Suppliers• Technical Support Personnel • Senior ManagementThis course is appropriate for all industries including but not limited to pharmaceutical, cosmetic, chemical,food, petroleum, biopharmaceutical, heavy industrial construction, pastics and paper.

Course Summary: Managing multiple projects is about managing resources in the face of constant change. We live in an environment where projects are no longer simple, slow and certain but are complex, quick and uncertain. This course must therefore first help us prepare to respond to change; and second to create work practicesthat allow us to manage change. Whether your multiple projects are part of a large multi-million dollar effort or small revamp projects at a manufacturing site, the issues are the same and the systems you create to respond to the challenges are the same. There are many advanced technical tools available which we must use to stay com-petitive. This does not mean ignoring the basic concepts of good project management but to utilize technology that will enable us to successfully manage complex projectswith multiple organizations with fewer resources than were achievable in the past.Finally, we will explore how best work practices for “Lean Manufacturing” organizations can be used directly in project management.

Course Summary: Online chemical process analysis is a rapidly evolving technology offering large potential savings in energy costs, reduction of offgrade production, efficient facilities employment, improved safety, and better quality. In addition, an in-situ analyzer in a pilot facility can help to tune processes and speed scaleup. On the other hand, the wrong analyzer or a problematic installation can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars with no gain. It is important that informed decisions be made on the purchase and installation of these instruments. This three-day course will provide an overview of some of the most important of the currently available technologies, how they compare, where they might be employed, example applications, and what is needed to achieve a successful installation. Calibration issues, spectral interpretations, and comparison with laboratory values, will be covered and examples given. Many other types of analyzers, such as pH, moisture, physical property, inferential, acoustic, density and others will also be reviewed, but in less detail than chemical composition analyzers.

15–18 October 2007 • Amsterdam, The NetherlandsWho Should Attend: This course is designed for Senior and mid-level technical people involved in projectexecution and preparation for plant start-up in any process industry. While the actual start-ups may differby industry, the commonalities in preparation provide valuable lessons for people such as the following

• Project Managers • Start-up manager, Commissioning Manager• Contractors • Process experts, Equipment specialists• Plant Managers • Construction Managers/Foremen• Plant Supervisors • Maintenance Manager

The greatest benefit arises from the application of these start-up oriented ideas throughout a project,beginning at the conceptual phase. The practical techniques, illustrated by example and discussion, provide useful insights that are valuable at any stage of the projectexecution and preparation for start-up.

Course Summary: The initial start-up of any plant, irrespective of size, type, technology or industry, is a unique experience that poses some special problems. Lack ofexperience in dealing with these problems has frequently resulted in prolonged and costly start-ups, caused by inadequate preparation for the events of start-up. Thiscourse provides guidance for the necessary preparation required to achieve a successful plant start-up. Start-up oriented thinking at all stages of the project from engineer-ing to commissioning is the first step in proper preparation.The course includes estimating start-up costs, people requirements and resources. It defines and illustrates the vital role of project management and plant personnel.Unanticipated events during start-up, along with inherently hazardous conditions require extra preparation effort to avoid safety incidents. Troubleshooting performed during the start-up can be very expensive and must be done as effectively as possible. The goal of troubleshooting is to minimize the time andcost of going from initial start-up to full production. The fourth day will provide a review of techniques and discussion of numerous examples to develop troubleshootingskills.
