Description
This course titled “Welding Processes – Oil & Gas Industries” is designed to give learners a clear and practical understanding of essential welding technologies used in upstream, midstream, and downstream oil & gas projects. Whether you're a beginner aiming to step into the QA/QC or welding inspector field or a working professional looking to reinforce your concepts, this course offers a complete foundation and real-world relevance.
We start by introducing various welding machines, followed by a deep dive into SMAW (Shielded Metal Arc Welding) and GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) processes—both widely used in pipeline welding, structural welding, and plant fabrication. You'll explore key concepts such as weld defects, electrodes, filler wires, fit-up, and WQT (Welder Qualification Test).
As you progress, you will also learn how to read and interpret WPS (Welding Procedure Specification) documents, understand pipe thickness charts, and grasp the purpose and structure of an Inspection and Test Plan (ITP). The course also includes modules on Radiographic Film Interpretation (RFI) and real image examples to help you visualize and relate with field conditions.
Key features include:
Practical terminology and visuals
Section-wise breakdown for easier learning
Coverage of both theoretical and field-level insights
Industry-aligned topics suitable for QA/QC, Welding Inspector, NDT, and Fabrication professionals
Whether you’re working offshore, in a refinery, or preparing for job interviews in Gulf countries, this course will act as your trusted technical guide.
What is primarily taught in your course?
