This course introduces learners to the fifth stage of the pipeline lifecycle: operations. The course covers key topic areas, including the role of the operations stage within the pipeline lifecycle and the two basic elements of a pipeline system necessary to operations: a pipeline (and its components) and facilities (such as compressor and pump stations, as well as meter stations). Self-assessments are used to reinforce key concepts, and a final graded assessment evaluates the learner’s understanding of the material. The online course format provides individuals the flexibility to review and reinforce the material at their own pace. What sets this course apart is that it equips learners with a basic understanding of the fifth stage of the pipeline lifecycle, which is foundational for further learning in the pipeline industry.
