Correct management and operation of an oil and gas terminal is essential for a successful business. The processing, transporting and storing of crude oil or refined petroleum products in tank farms, involve custody transfers of partner and commingled stock, significant volumes of data from various sources and blending complexities.

In addition, as these liquids are loaded and offloaded in bulk quantities, there is a large transfer of high value that makes it imperative for tank farm operators to efficiently manage their inventory and maximize their return on investment.

Upon successful completion of this training course on Oil Movement, Storage and Troubleshooting, participants will have gained the right knowledge on oil production and recovery, oil terminals and tank farms, methods of tank gauging, storage, oil products specifications, tank mixing, emergency of oil spills, cleaning of crude oil tanks, work permit system, gas transmission pipelines, pigging operations in crude oil pipelines, quality assurance and control, contingency and safety procedures etc.

The objectives of this course are:

• Acquire knowledge on oil production, recovery, dehydration and desalting and be able to understand the description and installation of a tank farm.
• Identify the different types of tanks and review and improve the operation of tank farms and oil terminals.
• Illustrate the process of gas freeing of tanks and vessels including confined entry for inspection, maintenance and repair.
• Understand the steps and limitations of the various methods of gauging tanks.
