VIBRATION CONTROL IN OIL & GAS INDUSTRY

OBJECTIVES

• The purpose of this program is to provide project and operation engineers with:
• A good understanding of vibration phenomena,
• A perception of the technical support provided by vibration computations and
• measurements,
• The ability to formulate efficient technical approaches to solve and prevent
• vibration problems.

OUTLINES

1.     OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY VIBRATION CONTEXT

Unacceptable dynamic behaviour of:

• Equipment
• Topsides
• Pipes, piping network

2.     VIBRATION SPECIFICATIONS

• Human exposure to vibration
• Equipment standards
• Pipe requirements.

3.     THEORETICAL BASIS

• Modal behaviour
• Resonance phenomenon and response to an excitation
• Damping,
• Suspension.

4.     VIBRATION MEASUREMENTS

• Measurement sensors and exciters
• Experimental methods
• Demonstration of vibration measurements
• Case studies of vibration measurements and analysis on:

          - vibrating equipment on test bench

          - equipment, pipes and structures on-site (offshore and onshore)

• Vibrating equipment excitations.

5.     VIBRATION COMPUTATION

• Finite element model,
• Computation methods,
• Demonstration of vibration computations,
• Case studies of vibration computations on:

         - Vibrating equipment or packages,

         - Pipes,

         - Topsides,

         - Platform or FPSO,

         -(Hull - Living Quarters).

6.     VIBRATION ANALYSIS GENERAL STRATEGY

• Technical approach for on-site diagnosis,
• Design assistance duringbasic and detailed engineering,
• Analysis of examples proposed by trainees: discussion of proposed strategy and trainee experience.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

• Project engineers (offshore - onshore),
• Specialist engineers (HSE, mechanical, structural, piping),
• Operation support (maintenance, technology, operation).
