Compliance with NOM-006-ASEA-2017

• An understanding of industrial or energy infrastructure operations
• Familiarity with pipeline systems or hydrocarbon regulations is helpful
• No prior certification required

Audience

• Pipeline operators and supervisors
• Engineers and contractors involved in pipeline design or construction
• Environmental, safety, and regulatory compliance officers

NOM-006-ASEA-2017 is a mandatory Mexican regulation that establishes the technical criteria and requirements for the design, construction, pre-startup, operation, maintenance, shutdown, and decommissioning of systems used to transport natural gas, ethane, and LP gas through pipelines.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at intermediate-level professionals in the energy, engineering, and safety sectors who wish to ensure compliance with NOM-006-ASEA-2017 across the full lifecycle of gas transportation systems.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Interpret and apply the full scope of NOM-006-ASEA-2017 requirements.
• Implement safety, integrity, and environmental protection systems for pipeline operations.
• Manage documentation, inspection, and risk analysis procedures for compliance.
• Ensure regulatory alignment in construction, operation, and shutdown of pipeline infrastructure.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Regulation walkthrough and real-world application examples.
• Group exercises on compliance planning and documentation review.
