DE0338 : Concept Selection and Specification of Production Facilities in Field Development Projects

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 is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Concept Selection and Specification of Production Facilities in Field Development Projects.  It covers the phases of a field development project and key components of a field development plan; the decision tree analysis and risk and opportunity assessments; the factors influencing facility design including fluid properties and their impact on facilities; the importance of location and contractual obligations including the operating conditions from wellhead to separation; and the types of separators, separator sizing and design. 

 

Further, the course will also discuss the reasons for stabilization and dehydration, equipment and methodologies; water handling, treatment methods and equipment; the specifications for produced water systems and gas compression systems; the initial gas treatment methods and gas dehydration techniques; the gas sweetening processes and adsorption methods as well as the types of artificial lift systems; and the impact of artificial lift on facilities design. 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the secondary/tertiary production techniques and asset integrity and inherently safe design principles; the principles of asset integrity including the rate, composition, temperature and pressure of design impacts; the design aspects of midstream facilities, performance of production versus midstream facilities and delivering saleable products to the market; and exploring future trends in production facilities design covering technological advancements, sustainability and environmental considerations.
