Description
The SODA Level 1 & Level 2 course provides comprehensive training on the processes, regulations, and technical aspects of offshore decommissioning and abandonment of oil and gas facilities.
This course covers the fundamental concepts of decommissioning, including project planning, environmental considerations, regulatory requirements, and the various techniques and methods used in offshore facility decommissioning.
Participants will learn about the different stages of decommissioning, such as well plugging and abandonment, topside removal, subsea infrastructure removal, and site remediation, through theoretical lectures, case studies, and practical exercises.
The Level 1 course focuses on introducing participants to the key aspects of offshore decommissioning, including project management, stakeholder engagement, risk assessment, and regulatory compliance.
Level 2 builds upon the knowledge gained in Level 1 and delves into more advanced topics, such as advanced structural analysis, subsea infrastructure removal techniques, and the management of hazardous materials during decommissioning operations.
Offshore Decommissioning & Abandonment (SODA) Level 1 & Level 2 covers Decommissioning Legislation Framework, Practical Considerations, Decommissioning Programme Techniques & Tools, Safety Regulations, Pipelines, Offshore / Subsea Systems Decommissioning, Decommisioning Case Studies with emphasis on Inventory of Materials, Removal & Disposal Options, Selected Removal & Disposal Option, Wells, Drill Cuttings, Environmental Impact Assessment, Interested Party Consultations, Costs, Schedule, Project Management & Verification, Debris Clearance, Post-Decommissioning Monitoring & Maintenance and more.
