    Pipeline and Gathering System: Theory and Applications

    • Foundation
    • 5 Days
    • PracticalTrainingWithSoftwarePractical Training with Software

    This course covers the configuration of manifold and gathering network, as a starter of the surface facilities. Based on this, pressure drops, fluid pattern and the network arrangement are discussed in detail. At the end of the gathering network simulator (Pipesim) is used to obtain the best operating and designing conditions for the system
