This course applies fundamental instrumentation
and control engineering principles to oil and gas
facilities design and operation, and is designed
to accelerate the development of new facilities
Instrumentation and Control Engineers. Through
the use of individual and group problem solving,
attendees will learn about field measurement
devices, final elements and actuators, pressure
relief and regulation, documentation,
programmable logic controllers
- Field measurement devices including level,
- pressure, temperature, and flow
- Final elements and actuators including control loops, control valves, shutdown valves, actuators, and transducers
- P&ID symbols and instrument tags, loop and logic diagrams, Pitfalls and best practices, ISA symbology, and creation of instrument and I/O Lists
- Signal types and wiring requirements for analog/discrete inputs and outputs as well as other signals such as thermocouple, RTD, pulse, and digital
- Typical control system functions, limitations, and architectures for PLC and DCS systems including programming and ladder logic
- Process control basics with an emphasis on control loops, types, and configurations for common oil and gas process equipment such as separators, pumps, distillation towers, filters, contactors, compressors, heat exchangers, and fired heaters
Instrument, Mechanical, Electrical Engineers, Technicians
and Technologists.
