Unit of Competency | PMAOPS434A - Commission wells and gathering systems |
---|---|---|---|
Description | This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge needed by a senior operator, or similar person, to commission wells and gathering systems. The commissioning would be operational commissioning and would take place after pre-commissioning of equipment and systems had occurred (typically performed by a contractor or projects team). On conclusion the well and gathering system should be operational within desired limits and be able to be handed over to a field operator for normal operation. | ||
Employability Skills | This unit contains employability skills. | ||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency applies to senior operators, field technicians or people of similar responsibility who are responsible for the commissioning of a well, its gathering system and their associated systems. In a typical scenario, the senior operator will bring a new (or worked over/rejuvenated) well and its gathering system on line and make adjustments to ensure it is in steady operation and delivering at the required rate. They will also balance the impact of the new well on the entire system providing feed to the plant to ensure the plant receives a stable feed at the required quality and rate. This competency is typically performed by senior operators working independently while in communication with operators, panel operator and the senior operator with responsibility for managing the group of wells of which the well being commissioned forms a part. This unit of competency has a narrower focus than PMAOPS433A Manage wells and gathering systems as the focus is on one well at a time, rather than optimising the entire group of operational wells. At all times they would be liaising and cooperating with other members of the team. | ||
