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.

  • 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

Frequently asked

Do the programmes cover the energy transition as well as conventional operations?

Both. The curriculum spans oil and gas operations, drilling project and risk management, ESG, and the global energy transition — including how conventional operators finance and sequence the shift. Participants leave able to weigh transition decisions with the same rigour they apply to an operating asset.

Is project finance for energy and infrastructure covered?

Yes — advanced project finance analysis and modelling, PPP and infrastructure finance, and the financing of oil, gas and mining projects all sit in the curriculum. Participants leave able to build and stress a project-finance model and defend the structure to lenders and boards.

How do we enrol a team on an energy programme?

Send an enquiry or brochure request from the programme page; a senior practitioner responds within one business day with the brochure and the options for your group. Team cohorts are arranged through that proposal — including a private, in-house edition when the whole unit should train together.

Who typically attends the energy and utilities programmes?

Engineers, operations managers, project and commercial leaders, and HSE and finance professionals from oil and gas, power, utilities and mining. Regulators and national companies attend alongside private operators, which sharpens the discussion on both sides.
