Instrumentation, Controls and Electrical Systems Masterclass

Electrical power, instrumentation and control systems for oil and gas facilities — terminology, configurations and pitfalls, so multi-discipline projects stop stalling at the interfaces.

The programme

Multi-discipline oil and gas projects stall at the interfaces — where the process engineer, the electrical engineer and the controls specialist each assume someone else owns the gap. This five-day programme gives project teams a shared working picture of electrical power generation and distribution, process and safety instrumentation, and control strategies across upstream and midstream facilities: field production, pipelines, gas plants and offshore systems. The material covers the systems encountered in separation, gas dehydration, gas sweetening and NGL recovery — load lists, one-line diagrams, hazardous area definition, control strategies and safety systems — with the terminology, typical configurations and common pitfalls needed to manage and execute multi-discipline projects effectively.

What you will do

Develop electrical load lists and one-line diagrams, then select and integrate the power distribution system.
Evaluate equipment demand on the power system — intermittent versus continuous service, motor starting loads.
Apply safe electrical practices, including hazardous area definition and circuit protection.
Decide what to measure, why and how for process and safety instrumentation.
Select control strategies and equipment common to oil and gas facilities — separation, dehydration, sweetening, NGL recovery.
Integrate components into systems for local control, safety systems, communications and remote control.
Spot the common pitfalls that derail multi-discipline projects at the electrical/controls interface.

Who attends

  • Process, chemical and mechanical engineers
  • Electrical and instrumentation engineers
  • IC&E technical and non-technical professionals
  • Project engineers on multi-discipline facility work

Cohorts bring together board members, executives and the rising leaders behind them — kept deliberately small, so every seat is a peer’s.

Programme agenda

Built for the decisions no textbook prepares you for

I.Electric power
  • Fundamental parameters for power usage and generation
  • Load lists, one-line diagrams and power distribution selection
  • Identifying power users and evaluating equipment demand
  • Hazardous area definition and circuit protection
II.Instrumentation
  • What to measure, why measure a parameter, and how
  • Equipment and instrument characteristics
  • Selecting appropriate instrumentation and controls
III.Control and safety systems
  • Control strategies, equipment and computer systems in oil and gas facilities
  • Integrating components that monitor and locally control the process
  • Safety systems, communications and remote control
IV.Facility application
  • Separation, gas dehydration, gas sweetening, NGL recovery and associated facilities

  • Terminology, typical configurations and common pitfalls in multi-discipline projects

Frequently asked

Who should attend the instrumentation and electrical systems masterclass?

Process, chemical and mechanical engineers, electrical and instrumentation engineers, IC&E technical and non-technical professionals, and project engineers on multi-discipline facility work. The five-day programme gives project teams a shared working picture, because multi-discipline projects stall at the interfaces.

Which facilities and systems does the course cover?

Upstream and midstream facilities — field production, pipelines, gas plants and offshore systems — and the systems encountered in separation, gas dehydration, gas sweetening and NGL recovery. The material spans load lists, one-line diagrams, hazardous area definition, process and safety instrumentation, control strategies and safety systems.

Is the masterclass available in-house and in French?

Yes. BIZENIUS delivers the programme in English and French, and an in-house edition can be tailored to your facilities and project portfolio. Sessions run on a rolling calendar with dates confirmed on request; fees and quotations are provided on enquiry.
