Since the first Distributed Control System was installed in the late 1970’s, the concept of DCS has swept alternative control technologies from the field. The substantial growth, in the construction of plants in the traditional heavy process industries, such as power generation, refining, oil and gas, water and petrochemicals, is driving significant growth in the utilization of DCS. The broad architecture of a solution involves either a direct connection to physical equipment, such as switches, pumps and valves or connection via a fieldbus communication system.
Distributed Control Systems (DCS) are dedicated systems used to control manufacturing processes that are continuous or batch-oriented, such as oil refining, petrochemicals, central station power generation, fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage manufacturing, cement production, steelmaking, and papermaking. DCSs are connected to sensors and actuators and use set point control to control the flow of material through the plant.
The most common example is a set point control loop consisting of a pressure sensor, controller, and control valve. Pressure or flow measurements are transmitted to the controller, usually through the aid of a signal conditioning input/output (I/O) device. When the measured variable reaches a certain point, the controller instructs a valve or actuation device to open or close until the fluidic flow process reaches the desired set point.
Large oil refineries have many thousands of I/O points and employ very large DCSs. Processes are not limited to fluidic flow through pipes, however, and can also include things like paper machines and their associated quality controls (see quality control system QCS), variable speed drives and motor control centers, cement kilns, mining operations, ore processing facilities, and many others.
Innovic India Private Limited provides industrial Training on DCS as well as other automationtechnologies like PLC, SCADA, HMI, VFD and many more.

Inspection, Testing and Commissioning of Electrical Switchboards, Circuit Bre...Living Online
THE WORKSHOP:
Whether you are designing, specifying, installing, testing or commissioning electrical equipment from small to large commercial and industrial installations, you need to have a thorough understanding of switchboards, switchgear, circuit breakers and associated protective relays.
The overall focus of this workshop is on electrical inspection, testing and commissioning and will commence with a detailed examination of switchgear (and circuit breakers). Circuit breakers are critical components in electrical distribution systems and their operation significantly affects the overall operation of the system. Protection relays are then discussed. These are used in power systems to maximise continuity of supply and are found in both small and large power systems from generation, through transmission, distribution and utilisation of power in plant, industrial and commercial equipment.
We cover commissioning and periodic inspection of cables and their various failure modes and how to detect these faults. The often neglected topic of switchboards will be detailed next, followed by the interesting topic of interfacing to the control system (either PLC’s or other control devices).
Case studies and practical sessions are used throughout to illustrate key practical principles.
This workshop covers key elements in a practical and project focused way. Many people assume (wrongly) that inspecting, testing and commissioning is a fairly straightforward process and is simply a rubber stamp confirmation of a so-called outstanding design. Our experience in the field demonstrates quite the opposite; where the litany of problems ranges from design and installation errors to equipment manufacturing defects. It is best that these problems are identified and corrected before the inevitable downtime comes in an operational installation where many thousands of dollars are lost in correcting the faults. The situation today is made more challenging by the heightened safety requirements and interfacing to low powered electronic control and monitoring devices (such as PLC’s) using software that has to also be verified.
This course examines different deepwater depositional systems and considers how deepwater process, topography and sediment supply impact on these systems. The course examines analogue data from turbidite reservoirs and modern turbidite systems. Depositional settings and sequences associated with clastic deepwater systems are reviewed, along with the geological controls on reservoir quality and architecture. It also examines post-depositional process that can have a major impact on reservoir quality and architecture, and considers this within the context of the petroleum system.
API 570 Piping and Pipeline Inspectors Preparatory CoursepetroEDGE
This program is designed for in depth understanding of Inspection of piping and pipelines under operation and in-service as per API 570. This preparatory course will prepare inspectors to ensure piping and pipeline integrity in service. Practical aspect of design considerations, sizing, rating, piping and pipeline integrity, internal inspections, analysis, repair, pressure testing, and pipeline protection shall be discussed. The program shall also provide more information about types of piping system defects which may crop in during operation, repairs, maintenance and alteration. This will lead the participants to prepare them for ensuring good quality and safety of operating piping and pipelines so that they are safe in operations and ensure preventing any incident.
The oil & gas industry has had a volatile ride for the last decade. Oil prices have been fluctuating between $30 and $130/bbl and with Shale oil appearing as a serious competitor and LNG positioning itself more as the transitionary fuel of the future. Of course we never knew what we do not know but it seems to be getting more unclear what the future holds, especially for the oil & gas industry. Uncertainty seems to rule, and turbulence of our business environment seems to be reaching a new tipping point year after year, and the end of common strategic planning is in sight.
This course will familiarize engineers, designers and construction personnel with the layout and design procedures and practices involved in the choice of piping systems and their associated supporting equipment. It will also address in detail, common pipeline components such as pumps, compressors and heat exchangers and will cover their mechanical performance and limitations in different piping arrangements. This course will give participants the background required to complete and successfully apply typical equipment layout and piping arrangements.
Advanced Heat Exchanger Design, Inspection and TroubleshootingpetroEDGE
The design, performance and operation of modern heat exchangers requires an understanding of the principles of heat transfer and fluid flow, coupled with access to numerically based techniques and supporting data. This course will review heat transfer fundamentals as applied to tubular and plate devices.
Liquid & Gas Flowmetering & Custody MeasurementpetroEDGE
This course will familiarize process, instrumentation and custody transfer engineers with the procedures and practices involved in the choice of flowmetering systems and their associated supporting equipment. It will address these points in relation to both single- and multi-phase flows and will give guidance on the optimum commercially available flowmeters through a detailed comparison of their relative merits. Flowmeter calibration is crucial to these topics.
The course also covers the related issues of level and tank measurement as well as lease automatic custody transfer and truck custody transfer, leak detection, loss control and monitor and control production losses.
This intensive five-day course is designed to provide participants with a thorough knowledge of downhole sand exclusion equipment and the operational procedures required for converting a drilled well into an efficient and safe producer. It follows a practical approach for the various types of sand control equipment, specific applications, the preparation and the final execution and installation of the equipment.
Webinar: Scenario planning for long term decision makingpetroEDGE
When developing a strategy or making investment decisions, there will be many uncertainties that need assessment. These can range from cost and timing issues to broader questions at the macro level, for example political, regulatory or social developments.
A way to get to grips with the latter category is by using ‘scenario analysis’, sometimes called ‘scenario thinking’ or ‘scenario planning’. A scenario in this context is an alternative future: a coherent narrative of a set of developments, trends and events that could unfold within some defined business environment.
A decision to drill an exploration well with the objective to find a new oil or gas field must be based on a sound assessment of the prospect’s risks and of the volumes: what is the chance that a well will find hydrocarbons, and how much could it be? Risk and volume assessments form the basis for decisions to drill a well or not, and as such it is the link between subsurface evaluation and the business aspects of the petroleum industry. This course explains how risks and volumes can be assessed in a realistic and pragmatic manner, based on a sound understanding of the geological details of the prospect as well as of its regional geological setting and our play understanding.
This intensive 2 x 2 week program has been put together to cover Advanced Well Engineering topics. The program intends to uplift the knowledge and skills for engineers, who are or will be directly involved in well and completion design. It will also benefit staff that are or will be working as a member of a day-to-day operations team.
The courses present advanced concepts of drilling and completion operations, plus post-completion enhancement (workovers). Participants will learn to visualize and troubleshoot what is happening downhole, discover what can be accomplished and optimized, and learn how drilling and completions can alter reservoir performance.
The Rig Safety Awareness course features ten e-learning modules, designed for new technical and petroleum engineers going offshore for the first time. The modules will require between 30 to 40 minutes study each.
Each module will also include assessment questions that relate to module’s content. Each e-learning module will be supported by four 2D ‘Walkthrough Events’ where the user is stepped through a series of safety failures that leed to an incident occurrence.
The main objective of this course is to acquire practical skills and tools on how to set up an asset depletion plan through a focused well and reservoir management approach. It is common in many asset teams to have an unclear picture of what future actions should be taken to the different wells and reservoirs as they deplete. In many cases, these actions are reactive rather than proactive. This is mainly due to a lack of a well-defined reservoir management and depletion plan or strategy.
This course presents you with the knowledge and tools to design a depletion plan. Such plan would be consistent with the increased understanding of the reservoir behavior obtained from focused reservoir management. The depletion plan is a comprehensive set of actions that the asset team designs to identify a way forward for every well by identifying future workovers, remedial work, gas lift methods, all the way to well abandonment. And for every reservoir by identifying underdeveloped areas, infill drilling targets, secondary recovery or IOR/EOR applications.
Major changes in 2020 for the global refining industrypetroEDGE
Refiners generally have incentives to upgrade their
refineries, by adding conversion units to produce greater
amounts of clean products (e.g., gasoline, diesel) and
lesser amounts of fuel oil. All else being equal, refiners
with conversion achieve higher margins than simple
refineries without conversion. However, it usually takes at
least four to five years from initial planning to actual startup
of a conversion project.
In our pursuit to discover oil and gas in ever deeper horizons, wells are often drilled in what is known as a High Pressure High Temperature [HPHT] environment. To be considered a HPHT well, the downhole conditions will have pressures in excess of 10,000 psi [69 MPa] and 300 deg F [150 deg C]. To drill these usually expensive wells successfully, the planning and execution phase has to be of an exceptionally high standard. Therefore, both operator and drilling/service contractor staff must be seamlessly aligned and work as a coherent team to reach and then harness the well objectives.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
