Description
Oil & natural gas transportation is more challenging than ever. The need for new pipelines has come under question by some stakeholders, forcing project delays, cancellations & rethinking of hydrocarbon shipping options. Much early pipeline infrastructure is now aging, so line replacement is another concern. Oil & gas price volatility dictates midstream companies control capital & operating costs. Grasping pipeline fundamentals is a first step towards understanding & strategizing over these issues.
The Canadian Energy Regulator, which has a mandate to oversee pipelines that cross provincial and national borders, now foregrounds safety, environmental assessment & stakeholder consultation over project economics. How will that affect your organization, your First Nation, your region, or your job?
Oak Leaf’s instructors are energy experts with much industry & classroom experience. We cultivate a friendly, professional atmosphere in class, encouraging discussion & welcoming questions, too. Statistical data, graphs, charts, maps, other materials & activities are current, designed to clarify complex concepts. Participants receive a full-colour, high-quality, hardcopy of these course materials. You also receive access to video clips shown in class.
This one-day Pipeline Fundamentals course first focuses on how pipelines are built, operated, and regulated: stakeholder consultation, route determination, design, construction, technologies, operations, tariffs & tolls. We also delve into key issues — political, social, economic, environmental & regulatory — affecting the midstream. Pipeline Fundamentals was designed in collaboration with two major pipeline operators & has become a signature Oak Leaf course.
If you can’t attend Pipeline Fundamentals in person, but can participate ONLINE, Oak Leaf has invested in state-of-the-art camera technology to enable a seamless in-class/online learning experience.
