February 1, 2012
Attendees at the class included employees of Centurion, ConocoPhillips, Enterprise, LOOP, Solomon & Associates, Telvent, and Myoco Supply. Comments include the following:
- Maintenance module - Very interesting to see the tools, technology, and methods used. Smart pigs are cool.
- Economics module - For someone without a background in finance and economics such as myself, this knowledge is very useful in creating business cases and evaluating ROI for our customers.
- Construction module - Very good pictures. Really helped me understand.
- Economics module - Best short, understandable description of MLPs I have ever heard.
- Hydraulics module - The "hydraulic tools" section was very interesting. This will be helpful in conversing with our engineering staff as we discuss business planning.
- Energy Pipelines module - Good mix of maps, pictures, and explanation.
- Leak Detection module - Upset scenarios were really good.
