Description
OPIC Level 1 provides foundational knowledge and skills in offshore production instrumentation and control for technicians and field engineers. It covers basic concepts, terminology, and safety practices related to instrumentation and control systems used in offshore production facilities.
OPIC Level 2 builds upon the knowledge gained in Level 1 and focuses on more advanced topics. It delves into troubleshooting techniques, maintenance strategies, and system integration for offshore production instrumentation and control.
Both OPIC Level 1 and Level 2 emphasize hands-on training and practical application. Participants engage in practical exercises, simulations, and case studies to develop their technical competencies in operating, maintaining, and troubleshooting offshore production instrumentation and control systems.
OPIC Level 1 introduces participants to various types of offshore production instrumentation and control equipment, such as sensors, transmitters, control valves, and distributed control systems. It familiarizes them with installation, calibration, and basic troubleshooting procedures.
In OPIC Level 2, participants deepen their understanding of complex offshore production instrumentation and control systems. They learn about advanced control strategies, process optimization, alarm management, and safety systems to enhance their expertise in maintaining and optimizing offshore production operations.
Offshore Production Instrumentation & Control for Technicians & Field Engineers (OPIC) Level 1 to Level 2 covers the key aspects of industrial instrumentation and is designed to enable maintenance personnel to carry out commissioning, calibration and maintenance of the typical devices used for measurement in industrial systems.
