  • Pipeline Practical Guide
  • Access to pre and/or post lecture videos
  • Sample test questions (based on the CPA Council level 2 facility concepts credential)

Course Overview

This training course is essential for anyone involved in design, construction or operation of green energy transportation projects in the Canadian Oil and Gas Pipeline sector.

Whether your responsibilities include project management, design, procurement, construction, QC, inspection, operations or integrity, this training provides a comprehensive knowledge base for the scope, definitions and mandatory application of CSA Z662 Safety and Loss Management Systems to pipeline facilities and green energy fluid aspects of your role.

The training provides concept identification and explanations with direct reference to regulatory mandates.

The CER onshore pipeline regulations is reviewed with reference to some Provincial statutes providing a clear understanding of the authority and application of enforceable requirements.

This course provides the necessary background and prerequisite to enable participants to proceed with intermediate and advanced level pipeline training.

Learning Objectives

This training course provides participants with an overview of the CSA Z662-19 Oil and Gas Pipeline System requirements and their proper application with respect to green energy transportation.

Upon completion participants will:

  • Understand the scope, framework, and personal obligations of the CSA Z662-19 including Safety and Loss Management System requirements.
  • Understand the use of published reference documents such as the ASME B31.12.
  • Understand the application of defined terms including ‘Bio-fuel’.
  • Understand the Canadian Onshore Pipeline Regulations (with CER and Provincial comparatives).
  • Understand the mandatory legal requirements from jurisdictions including CER, BCOGC, AER and other Provincial jurisdictional bodies (based on lecture presentation location).
  • Understand the practical application of CSA Z662-19 management system requirements to pipelines transporting hydrogen, LNG, and other emerging green energy liquids and gasses.
  • Understand the practical application of the BNQ 1784-000 Canadian Hydrogen Installation Code to pipeline systems.
  • Understand CSA Z276 LNG concepts for pipeline design, construction and operation.
  • Understand the content and context of relevant ASME B31.12 sections for use in a Z662 designed system when dealing with hydrogen.
  • Understand the inter-relationship between the CSA Z662, CSA B51 and ASME B31.3 as they pertain to pipeline facilities.

Participants will receive a Certificate and/or CEU/PDH credits as applicable.

Live Lecture Agenda

Training is from 8:00 am – 4:30 pm and includes coffee and lunch breaks.

The lecture and course videos will address the following:

  • Introduction to the CSA Z662-19 and Canadian regulatory system
  • Document Scope and Authority
  • CSA Z662-19 clauses 1 & 2 – essential elements
  • Z662 clause 3 – Safety and Loss Management System concepts and application
  • Regulatory Scorecard and Mandatory minimum legal requirements
  • Defining characteristics of Green Energy, Bio-fuel, and Renewables
  • Hydrogen considerations for new and existing infrastructure
  • LNG transportation and Handling
  • Application of the CSA B51 and specialty standards under CSA Z662

In order to execute compliant projects in the Canadian Oil and Gas Pipeline transportation sector, companies require personnel to be trained and qualified with functional knowledge of both the regulatory and Z662 requirements.

This course contains minimum regulatory requirements for Oil and Gas Pipelines and is an essential element for anyone who must demonstrate competency in the Canadian Oil and Gas industry.

Assessment Method

This course of study is acceptable preparation to write the CPA Council Level 1 General Qualification exam for administrative and management staff.

Pipeline facility design, construction and operating personnel will find this training beneficial in their roles and suitable supplement for writing specific Level 2 facilities concept qualification exam.

Code Qualification Exam

This course includes a code qualification exam registration. Credentials are issued by the CPA Council and provide evidence of code and standard comprehension at standardized levels recognized in the Canadian Oil and Gas sector.

Following course registration, you will be contacted by a NASA Corp Canada representative to assist in choosing and scheduling your chosen code qualification challenge exam.

CPA Council Level 1 Exam – minimum pass mark 70%; or
CPA Council Level 2 Exam – minimum pass mark 80%

**Individuals who do not require a credential demonstrating their comprehension of the subject material may opt out the exam during the registration stage.
