Introduction:

The majority of current and future offshore oil and gas explorations are conducted in deep waters. Offshore and subsea pipelines are a major asset in most offshore Oil & Gas operators. Ensuring its functionality, durability, and effectiveness is a paramount operation and business requirement.This course identifies all subsea pipeline project phases including the design, fabrication, installation, inspection, maintenance, repair, and integrity management. The course focuses mainly on offshore pipelines. This course has been designed to cover all life cycle oil and gas offshore pipeline projects. It will give you the international insight of the subsea pipeline industry to enable you to retain your talent to ensure sustainable career growth. This is an essential development for those who need to develop their knowledge and skills related to subsea pipeline design, installation, inspection, and management
