Requirements
Are you a chemical engineering student, a recent graduate, or a professional seeking clarity on the process engineering workflow within the oil and gas industry? Do you find yourself questioning what exactly a process engineer does, what documents are crucial, and how various activities interlink and impact your responsibilities?
We understand that stepping into the world of process engineering can be overwhelming. The lack of clear, structured information about the workflow and the intricacies of the role can leave you feeling lost. This is why we have meticulously designed a course that demystifies the process engineering landscape in the oil and gas sector, tailored specifically for individuals like you.
Importance of the role of a Process Engineer
Chemical engineers have an essential role in the design, engineering, and operation of chemical plants, petrochemical facilities, oil and gas refineries, and other process industries.
The role of a process engineer is crucial as they are responsible for process design, sizing, and ensuring the necessary requirements of plant components, such as equipment, piping, and instruments are met.
Based on the requirements of a process engineer, the detailed design, material specification, and purchasing are carried out by various engineering disciplines such as piping, civil, mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation engineers.
In this course, we shall explore the following:
- The project workflow and the different project stages and how each stage affects the level of detail in a document.
- The purpose and effect of different documents and activities that are carried out by a process engineer.
- This shall include process simulation, Process Flow Diagram, Piping and instrumentation Diagram, piping and equipment sizing activities, cause and effect diagram, …etc.
- Basis of these documents and how they affect the project execution and plant operation.
- We shall understand the role of each of these activities with a project workflow, what type of information is needed to develop them, and how they affect the downstream equipment.
If you are a student, a fresh graduate, or even an experienced chemical engineer who intends to enter the engineering section, then this course shall be for you as it’s highly important to understand the workflow of a project.
Can’t wait to see you in the course, let’s start!
