Exploration & Production (Upstream Oil & Gas)
Upstream Training Built Around Offshore Realities
Programmes for upstream engineering, integrity and project teams working under PETRONAS technical standards, tight POB limits and unforgiving weather windows.
The Problem
Challenges we hear from this sector
These are the issues raised most often by engineering managers and plant leadership before a programme is scoped.
Ageing offshore facilities operating beyond original design life
Limited POB and weather windows compressing every intervention
Brownfield tie-ins on live systems with outdated drawings
Strict client and PETRONAS technical standard compliance requirements
High cost of any mobilisation error or rework offshore
Training Solutions
How ProTrain addresses them
Each solution area can be delivered as a public programme or customised in-house using your own equipment, drawings and failure history.
Facilities integrity management
Inspection strategy, corrosion management and fitness-for-service screening for offshore assets.
Brownfield modification engineering
Tie-in planning, hot work control and piping engineering for live-system modifications.
Welding & fabrication assurance
Qualification and inspection competency for offshore structural and piping fabrication.
Failure investigation
RCFA capability so offshore failures are closed out, not repeated next campaign.
Recommended Courses
Programmes most requested by this sector
All programmes are HRD Corp claimable and carry CPD hours where applicable.
API 570 Piping Inspection & Corrosion Management
In-service piping inspection: CML strategy, corrosion rates, remaining life, and repair or replace decisions for ageing systems.
3 days (21 contact hours)View course outlinePractical Welding Inspection & CSWIP 3.1 Preparation
Weld processes, defects, acceptance criteria and inspection documentation, with hands-on radiograph and macro interpretation sessions.
4 days (28 contact hours)View course outlineRoot Cause Failure Analysis for Rotating & Static Equipment
Structured failure investigation using participants' own breakdown history, ending with corrective actions that actually close out.
2 days (14 contact hours)View course outlineNon-Destructive Testing (NDT) Methods, Interpretation & Reporting
A three-day, hands-on non-destructive testing programme covering the five core NDT methods — visual, penetrant, magnetic particle, radiographic and ultrasonic testing — with heavy emphasis on interpreting real indications, radiographs and reports rather than memorising theory.

Exploration & Production Training Topics
Available as public programmes or customised in-house delivery. Open any topic for the full outline, learning outcomes, practical exercises and enquiry options.
Tripod Beta Practitioner — Bronze Level: Developing Competent Investigators Through the Tripod Beta Methodology
A structured programme introducing the Tripod Beta methodology for incident investigation, causal analysis and development of effective corrective actions.
- Delivery:
- Public or customised in-house training
Flow Assurance in Oil and Gas Production — From Pipeline Design to Operational Troubleshooting
Practical training covering multiphase-flow behaviour, hydrates, wax, scale, slugging, pressure and temperature management, pipeline-design considerations and operational troubleshooting.
- Delivery:
- Public or customised in-house training
Business Outcomes
What clients measure after training
- Fewer offshore reworks and repeat mobilisations
- Modification packages approved faster by the technical authority
- Extended safe operating life for ageing facilities
- Stronger audit position against client technical standards
Outcome-linked training design
Before delivery we agree the operational metric the programme should influence — repair rate, downtime hours, inspection backlog, rework cost. Post-training, participants submit an action plan tied to that metric so results are visible to management.

Who will deliver your programme
Ir. Lim Chee Keong
Senior Trainer — Piping, Flow Assurance & API Standards
20 years industry experience
Chee Keong specialises in the messy middle of brownfield work — where drawings are outdated, the line is live, and the shutdown window is already booked. He teaches decision-making, not just clause numbers.
- API 570 Piping Inspector
- ASME B31.3 Process Piping Practitioner
- Caesar II Stress Analysis
Azman Yusof
Senior Trainer — Welding, NDT & QA/QC
18 years industry experience
Azman has qualified hundreds of welding procedures and rejected plenty of them. His sessions run on real radiographs, real PQR packages and real client NCRs, so participants leave able to defend a weld package in front of a client inspector.
- CSWIP 3.1 Welding Inspector
- ASNT NDT Level III (UT, RT, MT, PT)
- IWE — International Welding Engineer
