AUSTIN, TEXAS: Emerson Process Management deals in helping businesses automate their production, processing and distribution. It has worked with Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) in order to develop a comprehensive training program that will help new engineers develop the skills needed to maintain a running oil production facility in northern Kuwait. The program was developed under a contract that KOC had awarded to Emerson in May 2013, and is expected to lead to further cooperation between the companies.

The program, designed for KOC, takes place in a span of 19 weeks, and it covers field instrumentation, the DeltaV automation system, and cyber security, as well as process control, including advanced control and complex control strategies. The training will be conducted at Emerson's regional training centers in the U.S. at both Austin, Texas, and Marshalltown, Iowa, facilities.

The training project is a joint effort between Emerson's Lifecycle Care and Educational Services employees. Eight Emerson Process Management business units and five complementary instrumentation companies are part of the overall training program.

Dorothy Hellberg, director of Emerson Process Management's Educational Services said: "We are seeing more customers engage in a broad course of training for their newer employees. As customers expand their engineering staff to replace experienced retiring employees or to staff new facilities, condensed training programs are critical to smooth project execution and continuing operations. Our services can easily be configured to meet those needs."
