Introduction

Oil Movement, Storage plays a critical role in the ongoing expansion of the oil industry, especially with the continuing growth of the spot/short term market and the dynamic expansion of markets and supply sources. This program provides an understanding of liquid bulk cargo storage, Crude Oil storage and Handling, Cargo Calculations, Loss Control and other useful topics related to safety and pollution prevention.

Upon the successful completion of this course, participant will gain enough knowledge in oil terminals and tank farms, Methods of gauging tanks, oil products specifications, tank mixing, emergency of oil spills, cleaning of crude oil tanks, work permit system, pigging operations in crude oil pipelines, quality assurance and control, contingency and safety procedures etc. Actual case studies from around the world will be demonstrated to highlight the topics discussed

Objective

The aim of this course is to provide participants with:

  • A complete and up-to-date overview of the oil movements & storage operations in modern refineries.
  • Clear understanding of troubleshooting methodology and techniques
  • Expose to advanced techniques and best practices in movements & storage operations
  • Understands associated hazards in movements & storage operations and method of control
  • Understands Oil Spill Contingency plans
  • Understands valve/ pipeline operation for custody transfer and reduce Shore/ Ship Discrepancy
  •  Understands some accounting basics as per API Standards, with the importance of Temperature and Sampling Quality.
Audience

The course will be useful for new engineers, supervisors, field technicians, and managers, as well as business groups who are involved in day-to-day refinery activity and it is applicable to Offsite& Marine sections within the refinery organization.
