The Xmas Tree and Pipeline Pigging Course are designed to provide comprehensive information to all aspects of The Xmas Tree and Pipeline Pigging operation. The course is led by one of the most experienced in this field, the course will be conducted as lecturers, and attendees will be actively encouraged to participate. The course content will be fully illustrated, with actual Tree and pigs and models being used to aid understanding and help overcome any difficult problems. Comprehensive course notes will be provided, which will form a valuable source of reference afterward
By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
- Fully understanding of Tree types and pipe pigging
- Fully understanding of the Xmas Tree Valves
- Understand the operation of Xmas Tree and pipe pigging
- The safety rules during dealing with Xmas Tree valves
- Take the necessary corrective action when there is a problem
- Execute operation problems charismas
