PS2282 BASIC PRODUCTION SAFETY SYSTEMS
3.5 Days
Location: SRTCC
Contact: SRTCC Staff, Dannie Smith, 504-728-1225
Overview
This course certifies the student to operate, repair, and maintain facilities and
safety devices in accordance with Minerals Management Service (MMS) regulations as
published in the Federal Register (30 CFR Part 250). A written examination in accordance
with the approved MMS course application must be satisfactorily completed to ensure that
the student meets certification standards.
Designed For
Personnel engaged in oil or gas production operations and classified as production
safety system personnel (includes personnel engaged in the installation, repair, testing,
maintenance, or operation of surface or subsurface safety devices and the individual on
the platform who has overall responsibility for production operations) shall be trained in
accordance with the provisions of the MMS regulations 30 CFR 250, Subpart O. Furthermore,
the individual must be certified every three years by successfully completing this course
in accordance with the regulations.
Prerequisites
None
Objectives
Upon completion of this course the student should be able to:
- Understand the MMS regulations that are applicable to operating platforms in Federal
waters.
- Take appropriate action to avoid the Undesirable Events as stated in the MMS
regulations.
- Perform necessary field inspections of safety devices as required by the MMS.
- Perform maintenance, repairs, and calibration to safety equipment.
- Obtain a certification card attesting to successful completion of the course. (Card must
be available to show MMS inspector on demand.)
Outline
- GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS
- The following topics are covered: design, installation, and operation of surface
equipment, well workover practices, well completion practices, production system
requirements, testing and recording of results, pollution prevention, waste requirements
while producing, emergency support systems, and protective shut-in actions. Federal
penalties for violation of the regulations are also discussed.
- UNDESIRABLE EVENTS
- The following events are studied: overpressure, leaks, liquid overflow, gas
blowby,
under-pressure, excess temperature, ignition sources, and excess combustible vapors in the
firing chamber (fired vessels).
- API-14C
- The safety analysis table, safety analysis checklist, safety analysis function chart, and
safety analysis of each basic process component are studied.
- SAFETY DEVICE LECTURE
- This lecture covers testing, inspection, and maintenance of surface production equipment
as well as safety device requirements for well completions and workovers. Basic principles
and limitations of equipment application are discussed. Equipment malfunction, failure,
and correction procedures are included.
