COURSE OVERVIEW

This Practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops.
Offshore rigs are extremely expensive structures which require a great deal of inspection and maintenance if they are to remain in a safe condition. These structures are susceptible to corrosion, damage caused by dropped objects, and contacts from vessels. The pounding of wind and sea on these rigs causes high alternating stresses which can initiate failures in structural members and it is therefore essential to maintain a regular programme of inspection and monitoring in order to ensure the safety and integrity of them.
Preventing the occurrence of accidents in drilling, offshore construction and well servicing operations is a constant and major concern for any company or contractor acting in the upstream Petroleum industry. Analysis of accidents often identifies a number of contributing factors and/or anomalies, among which the equipment related items play a significant role.
