Imperial Corporate Training Institute is proud to offer a Petroleum Depot Operations Compliance and Storage Audit Training Course. This training course is designed to provide a comprehensive industry-focused accreditation for individuals working in the petroleum and downstream energy industries by providing them with advanced training regarding depot operations, storage safety and handling compliance in petroleum and downstream energy facilities. This course provides an in-depth education on the operation of a depot within a regulatory framework that has been developed to promote compliance-driven operational practices, maintain the integrity of petroleum depot storage systems and ensure preparedness for audits.
With increased regulation and safety standards, petroleum depots are forced to demonstrate a strong operational governance, sound management of storage systems, and verifiable compliance in all aspects of the value chain from crude oil production to retail distribution.
This training course connects depot operations to other areas within the petroleum and downstream industries, including pipeline compliance, flow assurance, and principles of subsea inspection. Through this understanding, participants will be able to develop a deeper comprehension of the direct relationship between the integrity of upstream and midstream operations with the performance of storage depots.
Objectives
The participants will be able to:
- Have a broad understanding of the functions of a petroleum depot including where the depot sits within the larger oil and gas value chain.
- Increase your understanding of safe storage principles in assessing bulk petroleum products and hazardous material storage.
- Increase your knowledge of how to have compliance when receiving fuel, storing it, transferring it, and sending it out.
- Learn what are the regulations, industry codes, and international standards that govern petroleum depots.
- Know how to conduct structured storage audits of tank farms, loading racks and depot infrastructure so that you can evaluate the operational, safety, and compliance performance of the depot.
- Identify the operation risks associated with tank farms, loading racks, pipeline systems, and depot infrastructure.
- Use your findings from your audit to improve operation efficiency and compliance throughout the depot.
- Understand pipeline compliance as relates to ensuring safe interfaces/synergy between depots and transmission systems.
- Learn about the principles of flow assurance, how to apply them to the quality, quantity and reliability of petroleum in your depot(s).
- Become aware of the importance of subsea inspection when it comes to maintaining supply chain integrity to petroleum depots.
- Improve documentation, reporting and correction processes post compliance audit.
- Develop proactive measures for increasing safety during long-term storage and regulatory compliance.
