An Introduction to Petroleum Fuel Facilities: Pipelines and Ground Fueling Facilities (P03-002)
Gas Pipeline Hydraulics (P06-001 )
Liquid Pipeline Hydraulics (P06-002)
This online engineering PDH course provides guidance for the design of piping systems for petroleum fuel handling applications.
Pipelines are typically either interterminal pipelines which are cross country and connect installations, or installation pipelines which connect petroleum-oil-lubricants (POL) facilities within an installation. The primary differences are that interterminal pipelines cross public and private properties, streets, highways, railroads, and utility rights-of-way, whereas installation pipelines do not. Pipeline receiving and dispensing facilities are normally part of a bulk fuel storage facility.
This 3 PDH online course is intended for mechanical and petroleum engineers, and other design and construction professionals seeking an introduction to piping and ground facility systems for petroleum fuel handling.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:

This online engineering PDH course covers the steady state analysis of compressible fluid flow through pipelines. In particular, we will cover natural gas pipeline transportation including how pipelines are sized for a particular flow rate, the pressure required to transport a given volume of gas and the compression horsepower required.
The properties of natural gas that affect pipe flow will be reviewed first followed by the concepts of laminar and turbulent flow and Reynolds number. Frictional pressure loss and the method of calculating the friction factor using the Moody diagram and the Colebrook and AGA methods will be illustrated with examples. Several other popular flow equations, such as the Weymouth, IGT and Panhandle formulas will be introduced and explained with example problems. Increasing pipeline throughput using intermediate compressor stations as well as pipe loops will be discussed. The strength requirement of pipes, allowable operating pressure and hydrostatic test pressure will be reviewed with reference to the DOT code requirements.
This 6 PDH online course is intended for civil, mechanical and process engineers involved in the planning, design, and construction of gas pipelines, or seeking to gain a better understanding of the hydraulics of gas pipelines.

This online engineering PDH course covers the steady state transportation of liquids in pipelines. These include water lines, refined petroleum products and crude oil pipelines.
Common forms of equations relating to flow versus pressure drop due to friction are introduced and applications illustrated by example problems. In a long distance pipeline the need for multiple pump stations and hydraulic pressure gradient are discussed.
The use of drag reduction as a means to improving pipeline throughput is explored. Batching of different products in a pipeline simultaneously, with minimum commingling, is discussed next. The internal design pressure in a pipeline and the hydrostatic test pressure for safe operation are explained with illustrative examples.
