Who is teaching

Thirty years of plants, not slideware

Manoj Thakkar has spent his career on the equipment these modules describe — upstream production facilities, crude processing trains, captive power and utilities, onshore and offshore. He has taken facilities from concept through FEED, detailed engineering, HAZOP, construction and commissioning, and then run them.

That includes the world’s largest onshore enhanced oil recovery development — five polymer trains producing 100 kbpd of mother solution, injected across 18 well pads — and a plant that ran 2,939 consecutive days without a lost-time accident.

Why this is different

Built for the field

From real projects

Every module comes out of a facility that was actually designed, built, commissioned and operated — including the failures and what they cost.

Interactive, not slides

Working schematics, live instrument readings, equipment catalogues and troubleshooting paths you step through yourself.

Safety runs through it

HAZOP, HAZID, SIL and root cause analysis are not a bolt-on chapter — they are how each module reasons about the plant.
