How to Read P&ID, PFD & BFD used in Process Plant like Pro
Premium Webinar
For PEA Members Only
Process flow diagrams (PFDs), piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), and block flow diagrams (BFDs) are the foundation of process plant design and operations. This webinar provides a structured approach to reading and interpreting these critical engineering documents with accuracy and confidence. Participants will gain practical knowledge to navigate complex drawings, understand symbols and conventions, and apply them effectively in plant operations and troubleshooting.
Webinar Objectives
• Differentiate between BFDs, PFDs, and P&IDs and understand their specific applications.
• Learn key symbols, standards, and notations used across process industries.
• Develop skills to trace process flows, instrumentation, and control loops.
• Apply diagram interpretation techniques for safe operations, maintenance, and problem-solving.
About the Presenter
The webinar will be led by an experienced process engineering professional with extensive knowledge in plant design, operations, and training. With years of practical expertise in interpreting engineering documentation, the presenter provides participants with actionable insights that bridge theoretical understanding and real-world application.

What Can PTA Tell You About Your Reservoir?
Pressure Transient Analysis (PTA) is a powerful tool for reservoir characterization — and it can tell you far more than permeability, reservoir contact, and skin factor. But to unlock its advanced capabilities, the analyst needs a solid grasp of the diagnostic features of pressure and derivative responses: how they relate to flow regimes, and how the static and dynamic features of a reservoir generate those regimes at different stages of depletion. Without that context, history matching pressure responses or fitting straight lines to portions of the data may return parameter estimates while missing the bigger picture entirely.This webinar makes the case for PTA as a reservoir characterization tool, shows its proper and improper use through worked examples, and highlights just how underused it remains in practice.Slides & Material — Copyright: All content in this session is copyrighted by Prof. Erdal Ozkan.
