      • Average client rating (based on 25 attendee reviews)

    An introduction to the full engineering lifecycle for oil & gas surface facilities—from early idea screening to a construction-ready design package. The course walks through Design Basis/Project Proposal, Conceptual Engineering, Basic Engineering (FEED), and Detailed Engineering, showing what each phase must decide, who contributes, which standards apply, and what deliverables prove readiness to move forward. You’ll examine how civil, mechanical, process, electrical, instrumentation & control, communications, and piping/pipeline disciplines collaborate; how safety and environmental requirements are embedded; and how cost, schedule, and value engineering evolve through the phases. Expect structured checklists, phase-gate templates, and case snippets that mirror real facility projects
