Petrocarbon Engineering Limited,
a UK based company with branch office in Nigeria is seeking for
candidates to train on Offshore & Subsea Engineering Software
(OrcaFlex).
OrcaFlex is a powerful analysis tool used in top Oil & Gas companies
like: Shell, Total, Chevron, Addax, ExxonMobil, Technip, Saipem, etc.
This Offshore & Subsea/Naval engineering software training will
make you proficient in doing subsea pipe design and analysis, floating
platform hydrodynamics, mooring lines and riser static and dynamic
analysis, amongst other very important offshore marine system analysis.
OrcaFlex is the world's leading package developed by Orcina for the
dynamic analysis of offshore marine systems.
Petrocarbon Engineering Limited is an independent firm established in
1997 to provide Offshore & Subsea project design and analysis
services to the oil and gas industry. Our training and manpower
development branch was created in response to the demand for capacity
building and higher technical competency in the oil and gas industry.
Following the Nigerian Local Content requirements for oil and gas
training to be done indigenously, Petrocarbon Engineering Limited is
providing this software training service in Nigeria for fast and
accurate analysis of catenary systems such as flexible risers and
umbilical cables under wave and current loads and externally imposed
motions.
OFFSHORE & SUBSEA ENGINEERING SOFTWARE (ORCAFLEX) TRAINING - SEPTEMBER 2014 SESSION
BENEFITS OF THE TRAINING
For Fresh Graduate Trainees:
Companies are looking for young graduates that can actually DO
Something, so the question is what can you do? your degree /
certificate may not be enough to get you a job and you obviously know
that the trainee positions are very very competitive in Nigeria.
For Experienced Graduate Trainees:
Your
proficiency in this software will increase your employability to a
better job in top Oil & Gas companies and give you an edge ahead of
your colleagues.
After
the training you will be well equipped with the relevant technical and
software skills that are core requirements for any Subsea/offshore
Engineering Analyst. You will also be proficient in the Orcaflex
software and have a fundamental knowledge of subsea engineering and
naval architecture
ABOUT THE TRAINING
This training gives a comprehensive understanding of how to use the
OrcaFlex software for model design and dynamic analysis of offshore
marine and subsea systems. Delegates will learn how to model different
types of risers, mooring lines and flexibles and how to analyse for
fatigue damage and vortex induced vibration (VIV).
LEARNING OUTCOMES
- An introduction to the Orcaflex software with simple model designs.
- Review industry level OrcaFlex model examples.
- How to use the OrcaFlex software to model risers, umbilicals and mooring lines.
- Understanding of the methods for running fatigue and VIV analysis with OrcaFlex.
OUR TRAINERS
Our trainers are practising engineers with years of both research and
industry experience in the offshore industry. All course notes are
professionally produced and we take on board feedback and continually
invest in our courses, ensuring up-to-date course content.
REQUIREMENTS
Because of the high technical content of the software algorithm, we are
seeking candidates with at least: BEng, BSc or HND in Engineering,
Physics or Mathematics (any technical or mathematical qualification).
