Whether your responsibilities include the design and qualification of weld procedures, construction and maintenance welding or the NDT of Oil and Gas Pipeline systems, this course provides the foundational training for the proper application of mandatory codes, regulations, and standards in the joining of energy transportation pipelines.

This training is essential for weld engineers, welders and construction management staff who require a clear understanding of the CSA Z662 pipeline welding concepts. Procurement, QC, Inspection, Operating and Integrity management personnel may also benefit from the content of this course.

The content provides the necessary prerequisites and framework for future intermediate and advanced level industry training.

None

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

This training course is essential for anyone involved in welding and joining of energy transportation projects in the Canadian Oil and Gas Pipeline sector.

Whether your responsibilities include project management, WPS development, welding execution or NDT, this training provides a comprehensive knowledge base for the scope, definitions and mandatory application of CSA Z662 Safety and Loss Management Systems to the joining 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 weld training.

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 welding and joining concepts.

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 B31.3.
• Understand the application of defined terms including ‘High energy joining’.
• 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 pipeline procedure qualification concepts identified in section 7 of the CSA Z662-19.
• Understand the practical application of CSA Z662-19 management system processes to the field application requirements for welding detailed in section 7 of the CSA Z662-19.
• Understand CSA Z662 Oil and Gas Pipeline Systems technical concepts for pipeline bonding and fusing concepts identified in sections 12 and 13.
• Understand the content and context of relevant ASME section IX allowances sections for use in a Z662 designed system when dealing with design and material qualification.

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

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
• Management Systems – welding and joining process requirements
• Clause 7 – minimum Welding criteria and concepts
• Annex P – Development of welding procedure qualification
• Clauses 12 – Alternate welding and joining criteria for low stress applications
• Clause 13 – selection and qualification of non-metallic joining and bonding

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.

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

Welders, fusion technicians, procedure developers and other personnel with joining elements in their roles will find the training suitable to write their Level 2 welding concepts 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.

This course can be provided at your location and is suitable for customization to meet your corporate training program requirements.
