WHY CHOOSE THIS TRAINING COURSE?
This PetroKnowledge training course provides the
requirements for the design, fabrication, installation,
testing and safety aspects of operation and maintenance of
gas transmission and distribution piping systems including
gas pipelines, gas compressor stations, gas metering and
regulation stations, gas mains, and service lines up to the
outlet of the customer’s meter set assembly.
Furthermore, the requirements of ASME B31.8 applicable
to the elements of piping systems, including but not
limited to pipe, valves, fittings, flanges, bolting, gaskets,
regulators, pressure vessels, pulsation dampeners, and
relief valves are exhaustively
This training course will feature:
• Piping System Components and Fabrication
• Considerations for material specifications, pipe
manufacturing and pipe joining

• Explain the causes and modes of pipeline failure
related to internal or external corrosion
• Requirements for the offshore pipeline related
to materials, inspection, testing, Operation and
Maintenance procedures
• Requirements for the sour gas service
WHAT ARE THE GOALS?
The aim of this PetroKnowledge comprehensive training
course is to provide the delegates knowledge and skills
about the ASME B31.8 gas transportation pipeline:
• Identify the design stress and calculate the pipe wall
thickness
• General Criteria for Piping Components which
includes branches, flanges, valves, reducers and
Closures
• Explain the Materials — General Requirements,
acceptance and limitation

Welding, and Assembly of gas pipelines
• Identify the required inspection and testing of the
pipelines
• Receive the enough information about the
Operation and Maintenance Procedures Affecting
the Safety of the gas transportation Piping Systems
• Focusing and learning on the internal and external
corrosion monitoring, control and cathode
protection
• Explain the Offshore Liquid Pipeline Systems related
design construction inspection and testing and Sour
Gas Service
WHO IS THIS TRAINING COURSE FOR?
This PetroKnowledge training course provides an overview
of all significant aspects and considerations of gas pipeline
to those involved in the design, analysis, fabrication,
installation, maintenance or ownership of pipeline and
piping systems. Furthermore, the training is designed for:
• Those interested in ASME B31.8 for gas pipeline
transportation Systems
• Those involved in the design, analysis, fabrication,
installation, maintenance or ownership of pipeline
and piping systems
• Gas Pipeline Engineers, Gas Facilities Engineers,
• Project Managers, Pipeline Designers
• Inspection Engineers, Operations and Maintenance
Personnel
• QA/QC reliability departments for oil and gas
(Petrochemical and Refining) operations
HOW WILL THIS TRAINING COURSE
BE PRESENTED?
This training course will be conducted along workshop
principles with formal lectures, videos and interactive
worked examples. Each learning point will be re-enforced
with practical exercises and ample opportunities for
discussion and sharing of experiences. The training course
instructor may modify the above training methodology
before or during the course for technical reasons.
