COURSE OVERVIEW

 This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. 

 

This course covers the basic concepts and techniques necessary to design, specify and manage oil and gas field production facilities.  It provides a clear understanding of the equipment and processes used in common separation and oil and water treating systems as well as the selection of piping and pumping systems. 

 

The course will cover gas dehydration, gas processing and the selection of compressor system. The gathering, separation and final treatment systems for crude oil and natural gas, before transport to refinery is discussed. The concepts of export quality crude oil and natural gas, field and fiscal measurements error is explained. Hydrocarbon reconciliation and allocation of produced fluids to the contributing reservoirs are explained. Exercises are used to cement the learning of the various topics treated. 

 

This course will enable participant to develop a “feel” for the important parameters of designing and operating a production facility.  The participant will understand the uncertainties and assumptions inherent in designing and using the equipment in these systems and the limitations, advantages and disadvantages associated with their use.
