The Intensive Facilities Engineering
Training Program (FETP) is a practical
capacity enhancement series designed
for engineering and Science graduates
who are interested in pursuing or
enhancing careers in the Oil & Gas
Industry. The program is also
excellent for entrepreneurs and
industrialists with a vision to take ad-
vantage of the huge opportunities in
the Upstream and Downstream
sector.
In terms of STRUCTURE, the courses
are designed to facilitate practical
learning of the fundamental and
foundational engineering principles,
practice and application in the Oil &
Gas Process and facilities engineering
design, construction, project manage-
ment and operations.
Participants are introduced to practical
and direct process and facilities
engineering design practices. The key
considerations that differentiate
undergraduate academic learning proc-
ess from Industrial engineering judge-
ment are duly communicated.
The FETP courses cover Oil & Gas
Exploration, Production, Refining &
Processing, Distribution and Utiliza-

tion. From Seis-
mic Exploration
to Drilling, Com-
pletions and Pro-
duction systems,
facilities covered include Onshore and
Onshore Drilling and Drilling Rigs,
Wellheads, Wellhead Platforms, Pro-
duction Platforms, Flowstations, Com-
pression Facilities and Oil Treating and
Handling Terminals. Others include
Gas Processing Plants such as LNG
(Liquefied Natural Gas), LPG(Liquefied
Petroleum Gases),
GTL (Gas To Liq-
uids) are also cov-
ered.
The program’s
courses also cover
Storage and Distribu-
tion systems such as
Pipelines, Oil Product
Tank Farms (PMS,
AGO, DPK, LPFO, etc), LPG Storage
and Filling Terminals and Natural Gas
feed Fertilizer plants.
Our capacity development philosophy
recognizes that although industry appli-
cation software such as AutoCAD,
PDMS, Aspen HYSYS, OFFPIPE, CAE-
SAR II, and ProSIM are computer tools
that enhance the speed and accuracy
of delivering engineering expertise and
solutions, they do not replace core
engineering design fundamentals with-
out which the software has very little
value.
Foundational courses such as FETP001
equip participants with very valuable
value engineering knowledge that
makes it so much simpler and easier
to effectively use engineering software
to provide exceptional solutions in
advanced courses.
Our courses also emphasize the im-
portance of effective presentation and
communication skills which the com-
plete professional needs to gain leader-
ship and team membership support at
work or as project execution team
member.
For enhanced learning and exposure,
our trainees work with experienced
professionals on real projects thus sig-
nificantly increasing the effectiveness of
the learning process.
The FETP Program developers, EPCM
Engineers have also developed a pro-
gram partnership and
sponsorship process
resulting in subsidized
course fees to in-
crease the afforda-
bility by individuals
for self paced skills
and competency de-
velopment. Our part-
ners also provide
employment opportunities for top per-
forming program graduates.
The core instruction team has a
combined working experience of over
140 active years in the Oil & Gas
Facilities Engineering field covering
Onshore, Offshore Exploration &
Production covering Design,
Procurement, Construction, Operations
and Project Management. They also
have significant experience in down-
stream processes from Refineries
through LPG/LNG Plants and Oil
Product Tank Farms.
All our courses involve extensive
exercises, practical project work and
completion tests. Certificates of com-
pletion are awarded to candidates who
pass the qualification tests.
The next course planned is the FETP
001 starting January 11, 2010.

two of the three years he
spent as a Facilities Engineer
in Qua Iboe Terminal (QIT)
of MPN and has presented a
paper at the International
Society of Petroleum Engi-
neers SPE in San Antonio,
USA.
He continues to provide
regular writings on
Business/Project Manage-
ment, Engineering, Risk
Management and is also a
regular presenter of a TV
program on Project Management.
