This two-day course will provide participants with a high level understanding of the Canadian Standards Association CSA Z662 Oil and Gas Pipeline Systems Standard, with an emphasis on practical application of the standard to oil and natural gas pipelines and facilities over the complete lifecycle from design, construction and operation in onshore areas.  The course will discuss how the CSA Z662 standard and pipeline regulations act together and it will also highlight differences in key areas between CSA Z662 and ASME B31.3.  

The course is designed for pipeline engineers, technologists, inspectors or other professionals who require a working knowledge of the standard. Participants are encouraged but not required to bring a copy of the Standard (not included in course fees) to the sessions.

Participants will learn to:
•	Understand how CSA Z662 is developed and how the standard and pipeline regulations interact to contribute to 
        pipeline system safety;
•	Learn the practical application of CSA Z662 to the pipeline system lifecycle from design, construction, 
        operation, maintenance and abandonment;
•	Become aware of Safety and Loss Management System, Integrity Management Program and Engineering 
        Assessment concepts;
•	Obtain foundational knowledge of CSA Z662  pipeline design and material requirements;
•	Understand when ASME B31.3 may be used within a CSA Z662 design and the key differences;
•	Learn the main requirements for construction, welding, pressure testing and corrosion control and their practical 
        applications;
•	Recognize operations and maintenance requirements and relevant issues such as safety considerations and
        procedures and records requirements;
•	Learn the requirements for imperfection evaluations, acceptable repair methodologies, deactivation, reactivation 
        and abandonment; and
•	Obtain a working knowledge of the application of the standard through the use of examples and contextual 
        discussion of the intent of the clause.
