Contacts and Prices

Penspen undertakes training courses around the World in the fields of onshore and

offshore pipeline engineering and pipeline integrity management.

Penspen has trained over 4000 people and has run public and private training courses

in many countries, including Australia, Austria, Bolivia, Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia,

Argentina, Ecuador, Mexico, USA, Canada, UK, The Czech Republic, Hungary,

Kazakstan, Malaysia, Romania, Netherlands and the UAE.

Penspen staff are experienced in training: many have extensive university lecturing

experience and many years experience in the pipeline business.

Penspen trains all nationalities, and lecturers present the courses in English. Penspen

can also offer courses in Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and other languages with a

simultaneous translation.

Courses can be custom-designed for client’s needs, or selected from a series of

standard public courses.

This document summarises the agenda and lectures of the onshore pipeline

engineering course that is offered by Penspen.

Introduction

Penspen has collaborated with the launch of two MSc programmes at Newcastle

University. Consultants and Senior Engineers from Penspen’s Newcastle office

currently lecture on these two successful Master Programmes.

The MSc in Pipeline Engineering

A course collaboratively designed by industry and academia to meet the specific

requirements of the oil and gas sector, covering both high-pressure offshore and

onshore pipelines.

Delivered by both industry and academic experts in the fields of pipeline engineering,

offshore engineering, chemical engineering, materials science and civil engineering, it

is a unique, up-to-date and multi-disciplinary course.

The MSc in Subsea Engineering and Management

The MSc in Subsea Engineering and Management is a programme designed for

engineers wanting to increase their skills and knowledge of subsea engineering to

masters' level. It has been developed in conjunction with firms in the subsea industry

and comprises multi-disciplinary teaching, site visits, industrially based projects and

visiting industrial lecturers to enhance the relevance and effectiveness of the course.

Introduction to Lecturers

Penspen staff are experienced in training: many have extensive university lecturing

experience, and many years experience in the pipeline business. Penspen trains all

nationalities, and lecturers can present the course mostly in English through interpreters.

Penspen can potentially also offer courses in Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and other

languages.

Professor Phil Hopkins has over 30 years experience in pipeline and marine engineering.

He was the Managing Director of Andrew Palmer & Associates, and is now a Director of

Penspen, UK, who are involved in all aspects of onshore and offshore pipelines. He is

also a visiting professor at Newcastle University, UK . He has worked with most of the

major oil and gas companies and pipeline companies around the world, providing

consultancy on management, business, design, maintenance, inspection, risk analysis

and safety, and failure investigations in Europe, Asia, North America, and the Middle

East. Phil has served on many national and international committees, including the

British Standards Institution, the European Pipeline Research Group (co-chairman), the

American Gas Association's Pipeline Research Council International, and the DNV

Pipeline Committee, and is a past chair of the ASME Pipeline Systems Division. He is

well-known internationally as a trainer, and regularly presents courses in North and

South America, West and East Europe, the Middle East, and Far East.

Dr Roger King has over 30 years experience in corrosion engineering in the North Sea,

Middle East and Malaysian oil and gas production industry. He has specialist knowledge

of sweet and mildly soured corrosion and its prevention by chemical inhibition,

monitoring of corrosion, microbiological corrosion and the design of efficient cathodic

protection systems for onshore and offshore pipelines, structures and seabed

installations. He has published over 70 papers on these corrosion topics.

Onshore Pipeline Engineering

There are millions of kilometres of onshore oil and gas pipelines around the world. As

the industry expands and new staff are introduced into it, there is an increasing need for

a full appreciation of the engineering design of pipelines. Additionally, many staff in the

pipeline industry have not received basic pipeline engineering training, and some staff

are only exposed to specialised areas. This course is a formal introduction to pipeline

engineering.

“Very interesting – covers almost everything –gives a very good introduction and does

not require any specific back ground”

Windermere, July 2005

“I have been to 3 Clarion sponsored courses and this was the best of the three. Great

presentations, presenters and a good fundamental approach to everything pipeline!”

Houston, April 2007

Who Should Attend?

Engineers who are new to the pipeline business: Pipeline Engineers, Pipeline

Construction Engineers, Project Managers, Maintenance Engineers, Contractors,

Supervisors, Inspectors, Operators, Equipment Suppliers, Inspection and Quality

Engineers, Pipeline Design Engineers.

Engineers who need a wider appreciation of onshore pipeline engineering.
