Description

Unlock the language of oil & gas engineering with technical drawings.

This course is your complete guide to understanding, interpreting, and applying the technical drawings used across the petroleum industry — including Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs), Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs), Isometrics, Plot Plans, and General Arrangement Drawings (GADs).

Whether you're a student, junior engineer, or transitioning professional, you'll gain the practical skills and industry insight needed to read and use these documents effectively in real projects.

What You’ll Learn:

  • The purpose and structure of key drawing types: PFD, P&ID, PI, PP, and GAD

  • How to read line numbers, equipment tags, and instrumentation symbols

  • Best practices for developing, reviewing, and checking technical drawings

  • How technical drawings support FEED, EPC, commissioning, and operation stages

  • Developing PFD using Autocad

Who This Course Is For:

  • Junior engineers, engineering students, and technical professionals

  • Anyone seeking a solid understanding of drawing systems in the oil and gas sector

Course Features:

  • Step-by-step breakdowns of real industry drawing types

  • Quizzes to test your understanding

  • Practical checklists and interpretation tips

  • Real-world scenarios from process engineering and construction

  • Step by step in creation of Process flow diagram using Autocad

By the end of this course, you'll confidently navigate and interpret the drawings that drive every phase of oil and gas projects — from concept to commissioning and understand how to read them. and how to create PFD step by step


Who this course is for:

  • Junior engineers and engineering students who want to build a strong foundation in reading and interpreting technical drawings in the oil and gas industry Process, mechanical, and instrumentation engineers looking to strengthen their understanding of industry-standard documentation Technicians, draftsmen, and CAD operators who work with PFDs, P&IDs, and other technical drawings in design or construction Professionals transitioning into oil & gas from other industries and seeking to quickly understand the drawing systems used in upstream and downstream projects Anyone curious about how complex process facilities are visualized, documented, and built using technical drawings
