Introduction
Course overview
Why Choose Oil Production and Processing Facilities Training Course?
This comprehensive 5-day training course concentrates on oil & gas production and subsequent treatment surface facility operations and processes. The training course covers the entire oil & gas value chain from discovery, exploration and transportation through to refining and finally sales to downstream industries. An overview and fundamental understanding of the wide range of oilfield production handling and treatment equipment will be presented as well as new technologies.
This course emphasises oil and gas production facilities both onshore and offshore - from the wellhead to delivery of an on-specification crude oil to the refinery or natural gas to downstream users.
Produced water treating facilities are introduced and discussed and includes coverage of water injection systems.
In addition to the engineering aspects of oil production facilities, practical operating problems will also be covered, including treatment of emulsions, handling of sand, dealing with wax and asphaltenes, natural gas dehydration and sweetening and refinery processing.
What are the Goals?
By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
- Learn the origins and chemical characteristics of Oil & Gas
- Understand the challenges associated with offshore operations, horizontal drilling and other safety concerns
- Familiarize the participants with various methods and techniques used to explore, drill, produce, treat and transport Oil, Gas and their products
- Introduce the participants to upstream, mid-stream and downstream operations
