Atlas Interactive delivers Compression Fittings training using an interactive and engaging e-Learning course. Small Bore Tubing systems are a significant contributor to the loss of process containment in potentially hazardous plants. With the statistics available and the increasing awareness of safety in the Oil and Gas Industry, United Kingdom Offshore Operators Association (UKOOA) and the Institute of Petroleum have responded with the development and release of:

The Guidelines for the Management, Design, Installation and Maintenance of Small Bore Tubing Systems.

This e-Learning course has been developed to deliver awareness training in these guidelines. The development was part of a Joint Industry Project involving the Health & Safety Executive (HSE), BP, Conoco, TotalFinaElf, British Gas-HRL, Marathon, PGS Production, ChevronTexaco and the Institute of Petroleum.
