The Certified Facilities Engineering Specialist program is designed to
effectively transfer the most current technology to engineers and other
professionals with identified “skill gap” deficiencies. The target audiences
are new facilities engineers as well as experienced process engineers,
senior operating personnel, field supervisors and other specialists who
want to know more about the basic theory, details of selection and design
of oil and gas production facilities. A participant who completes the course
of study outlined below will be awarded a Certificate of Competency from
the International Association of Petroleum Professionals as a Certified
Facilities Engineering Specialist.
Training is divided into Core and Elective Modules. Modules are designed
so that they may be taken in any order. However, to achieve maximum
benefit it is recommended that Core Modules be taken prior to taking
Elective Modules. By progressing from Core then to Elective Modules,
participants are led from basic to advanced topics.
A Certificate of Achievement from the International Association of
Petroleum Professionals is awarded to each participant for each module
they satisfactorily complete. A participant who completes the full course of
study of 128 Specific Core Credits and 52 Elective Credits for a total of
180 Credits will be awarded a Certificate of Competency form the
International Association of Petroleum Professionals as a Certified
Facilities Engineering Specialist. The required Core Modules required are:
Understanding Design and Operation of Oil and Water Handling
Systems in Production Facilities (16-Credits)
Understanding Design and Operation of Gas Handling Systems
in Production Facilities (16-Credits)
