Oil & Gas Welding Designing, Application & Metal Properties Testing

Course Category : Oil & Gas Management

An advanced technical and engineering programme to manage welding operations, material selection, and metal property testing in compliance with oil and gas industry standards
5 Days
Intermediate Level

Introduction

Welding operations and material selection are among the most critical elements in the oil and gas industry, directly influencing structural integrity, operational continuity, and asset lifespan—particularly in offshore and harsh operating environments. Addressing these challenges requires a thorough understanding of welding processes, metallurgical behaviour, corrosion mechanisms, and inspection and testing methodologies.
This course provides participants with a comprehensive theoretical and practical foundation in welding design, application, and metal property testing. It emphasises industry codes and standards, defect mitigation, inspection techniques, and achieving high-quality, reliable welding outcomes in onshore and offshore oil and gas facilities.
