Introduction to Gas Pipeline Engineering is suitable for all engineering and technical pipelines and facilities personnel.

Upon successful completion of the course, students will be awarded a course completion certificate.

They will gain knowledge on the following:

• Describe the construction of a high-pressure gas transmission pipeline
• Describe the functions of typical components on gas pipeline facilities
• Describe the properties of hydrocarbons and the basics of hydrocarbons processing
• Explain the principles of operation of typical pipeline instruments, monitoring and control systems, including SCADA
• Explain the principles of operation of gas analysis systems including moisture analysers, gas chromatographs, densitometers, calorimeters
• Explain the principles of pipeline pigging
• Explain the principles of pipeline gas compression
• Explain the principles of corrosion control
• Interpret process and instrumentation diagrams for a pipeline facility
• Demonstrate use of pipeline communications equipment (optional)
• Demonstrate preparing a journey plan and pre-start preparation for a trip (optional)

Training and assessment are conducted on-site at the Site Skills Training facilities. This course is currently delivered in Darwin, Gladstone, North Brisbane, and West Brisbane. Upon arrangement, training and courses can be conducted at the premises of industry clients providing there a suitable industry training facilities.
