Instrumentation and Controls Fundamentals for Facilities Engineers
This course applies instrumentation and control principles to the design and operation of oil and gas facilities, speeding up the development of new engineers in the field. Through problem solving, participants cover field measurement devices, valves and actuators, documentation and control system architectures. Process control, loop tuning, safety systems, SCADA and installation methods are also addressed.
