PE0085 : Oil & Gas Field Operations, Start-up & Shutdown: Gas Processing, Hydrates, Dehydration, Sweetening, NGL Recovery & Fractionation, Oil Production, Desalting, Stabilization, Storage Tanks, Mixers, Meter Proving, Cargo Calculations, Flow Measurement, Start-up & Shutdown

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators
Oil or gas wells produce a mixture of hydrocarbon gas, condensate, or oil; water with dissolved minerals, usually including a large amount of salt; other gases, including nitrogen, carbon dioxide (CO2), and possibly hydrogen sulphide (H2S); and solids, including sand from the reservoir, dirt, scale and corrosion products from the tubing.
For the hydrocarbons (gas or liquid) to be sold, they must be separated from the water and solids, measured, sold and transported by pipeline, truck, rail, or ocean tanker to the user. Gas is usually restricted to pipeline transportation but can also be shipped in pressure vessels on ships, trucks, or railroad cars as compressed natural gas or converted to a liquid and sent as a liquefied natural gas (LNG). This course discusses the field processing required before oil and gas can be sold.
