13. Oil and Gas Industry: Tank, Sphere & Bullet Specification

4.5

(146)

In Chemical plants, storage tanks, sphere and bullets are ubiquitous. Any Chemical, Petrochemical, Refinery, Oil & Gas, Pharmaceutical facility and for that matter any facility burning fuel or treating waste water will have tanks. It may have either sphere or bullet depending on whether LPG, Propane or Ammonia is processed. Since it is commonly present, the knowledge of selecting, sizing and specifying tanks, sphere and bullet is taken for granted. However, this is not the case. When I started work in the petrochemical Industry about 30+ years back in a Tank farm being constructed, there were no manuals, books or procedures. There was no access to any standards. None of the experienced seniors were willing to teach, coach or mentor. When I moved a EPC firm, the same problem continued. Now, we are in a different era. Every information is available at our fingertips. But the students suffer from excess information which brings in a lack of focus. This course aims to equip the students to with sufficient knowledge to be able to select, size, specify and review process design with confidence. The aim is to set the students on the path to gain excellence in the subject.  (Update August 2022)The course has lectures, examples and activities to help the students to understand and apply the concepts. Currently, there are 16 examples , 6 activities, quizzes and worked out assignments for  ensuring hands on skill development. (Update July 2022): The examples cover Tank  Selection and Sizing  for Acetic Acid , Acetone, Paraxylene, Toluene, High Speed Diesel, MEG, TEG and Gasoline service. (Update August 2022): Further an activity based lecture system has been introduced.  With this, the student has the opportunity to breakdown the existing tank engineering information as per the course structure to make sense how the process of Tank Selection, Sizing and Specification taught in this course  can be put into practice. For those students who have no access to any tank database, a sample tank engineering information is provided in the lesson. The student can use this sample tank engineering data to analyze and progress the activity. (Update June 2023): Started adding LNG tankage requirements. As a first step, type of tankages to store LNG discussed. To add more in few days to come. WHAT THE COURSE IS NOT ABOUTThis course is NOT about  Design, Fabrication, Inspection, Installation or Detailed Engineering of chemical storage and   its associated piping, instruments and electrical items. However, points can be discussed in the Q & A section. The students would benefit from interacting with an experienced professional who is keen to share the knowledge and experience to benefit the future generation. Get Started Now.

14. Oil and Gas FPSO Overview, Technology & Design Consideration

4.5

(130)

The course has its beginnings on my observation that many of my known senior engineers who have been working in FPSO (Floating Production, Storage and Offloading) unit design and construction do know much about the tankers features. The reality is they when you work in a EPC company you are kept so busy in your own area that you rarely get any time to know about the other specialisations and how your work impacts them. And there is no structured training arranged by any of these companiesBecause FPSOs are ship shaped, the tendency is for designers to approach the design of an FPSO as though it is primarily a ship with production facilities as cargo. An FPSO is a floating offshore production and storage facility which happens to be ship shaped. Therefore there has to be a change in the approach to its design to ensure that it is considered as a single integrated entity, as is the case for a fixed jacket installationSeeing all this, I thought a course outlining all the marine, structural, production (process) and the layout features could be a good start to introduce the FPSO to the Udemy students. The course is tilted to process engineer requirements, but includes marine , structural and layout aspects also. Anybody who wants to know about oil and gas, FPSO units may benefit from this course. The course is structured in a manner to help everyone including beginners in FPSO. At the beginning, FPSO vessel and Process overview is presented before moving into Process Design considerations. After this, "General Considerations" influencing the design of the vessel is provided. This gives a flavour of the issues that need "considerations" while deciding the vessel in which facilities will be built. Beyond this the Marine and Structural aspects of design are discussed. Finally a introduction to Deepwater system is presented. The student of this course will be able to perform her job with a high level of awareness and effectiveness. Lessons Learnt so far: Many important lessons have been learnt in the first year of delivery. Some of them are:1.  It was understood that many students with diverse experience wish to take up this course. So it is useful to restate the meaning of the word Design Considerations. Design Considerations are generally the things you think about before starting the major decisions about your design solution. The knowledge provided by this course is aimed to enable the student to be aware of the diverse aspects that need to be considered while designing a FPSO. 2. Some students think that the "instructor is reading out the slides". This is not the case. The instructor has prepared the slides to serve as a pointer to the students when the material is delivered. 3. Some young students may find this material "over the top" because of its multi-disciplinary nature. However, since the content is available lifelong, it will be of great value when they plan to get associated with a FPSO design, operation or maintenance. Course structure The intent of the course is to present the FPSO vessel and production facility overview. Provide the design considerations of the production facilitiesPart 2 reviews a range of significant design related issues which have a bearing on the ability of the FPSO to ultimately function safely and efficiently over the time it is in the field. It covers matters such as the development of design philosophies, layout, and general system design. Although it does not attempt to fully address the design of the oil and gas production systems, it does touch on a number of issues, or contingent factors, connected with hydrocarbon recovery and processing which can have a significant bearing on the FPSOs ability to function as originally envisaged. Present functional requirements, system design & equipment performance, sparing, safeguarding and shutdown, monitoring & control , maintenance, commissioning, layout, and interface requirementsDelve into the general considerations influencing FPSO selection and design. Green water, bottom slamming, tank sloshing, escape and evacuation, effects of movements. Marine and Structural Design Considerations of FPSODeepwater systems and their Selection Exclusion This training should not be considered either as a detailed design guide or as a form of textbook on FPSO design. Neither are they a substitute for current statutory regulations that prevail now. Important to note that "Design Considerations" are not same as "Sizing or Design" of equipment but they are critical from safety, operability and reliable operation of the "equipment systems". The design of FPSOs involves the use of a large range of national and international laws, standards, codes of practice and specifications and so this training by definition, can refer selectively to only a very small number of these...

I do recommend this course for the engineers and for whoever needs HYSYS in their work.* Great course with valuable information and excellent explanation , I recommend it so much It helps me a lot in software skills. Thanks Udemy for this course.*I've been a heavy user of Hysys for certain projects during my career in the oil and gas industry, but it's been a while since I've had to build a plant from scratch and make use of certain features. I think Hysys has so many features there's always something new to learn. I bought this course as a refresher and found it very useful. It reassured me that I haven't forgotten everything. and I learned to use a few features that were new to me, plus some great little keyboard shortcuts which are always welcome. I have an old habit of using x & y to untangle my flowsheets (reflects selected icon in x & y plane). I'd highly recommend this course to anyone in a similar position to me. I liked the hands on presentation style and the avoidance of using any slides. The resources were well organised and easy to follow.*The instructor is knowledgeable and the course seems to cover all HYSYS-related topics...
