COURSE OVERVIEW

 This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises.  Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and intermediate overview of Process Design. It covers the process design standards and protocols and the importance of adhering to these standards in process design; the types of documents used in process design and technical specifications; the methods for collecting and verifying data necessary for design; the basic concepts of pump performance curves and NPSH including compressor operations and performance factors; the principles of desalters and dehydrators and relief and flare systems; the orifice and control valve calculations; and the techniques for appropriate safety valve sizing and heavy oil processing systems. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn how to calculate pressure drops in oil, gas and injection networks; the thermodynamic calculations for hydrate formation; the compressor discharge temperature calculations; the steps for creating comprehensive process design packages; the produced water treatment technologies, tank design and fluid handling; the principles and design considerations for micro bubble flotation technology and seawater treatment technologies; the technical specification documents and drawing verification; the enhanced oil recovery and improved oil recovery methods; the subsurface reservoir behaviors,offshore operations and challenges; and techniques and strategies for troubleshooting process design problems.
