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 an up-to-date overview of the production operations in the oil and gas fields and surface facilities covering the operation of process equipment, separation of oil/gas/water, controlling flow/pressure/temperature, injection of water/gas and process troubleshooting. It aims to establish an understanding of the processes, technology, equipment, techniques and HSE associated with oil and gas production and operation. 

 

The course covers the different eras of petroleum industry; the similarities and differences of upstream and downstream O&G; the function, operation and equipment of the wellhead tower; the purpose, equipment and uses of production manifold; the well construction; the vertical, deviated and horizontal wells; the well completion consisting of casing design, fracturing, perforating, acid stimulation, sand control, coiled tubing operations and logging; and the processes involved in the separation of oil, gas and water. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the oil and gas production streams, their flows and pressure; the methods of controlling flow, pressure and temperature; the flow assurance covering paraffin, wax, scale, asphaltenes, corrosion and erosion; the types and purpose of production equipment including the need, operations and equipment of artificial lift; the electrical submersible pumps, gas lift and progressive cavity pumps for heavy oil; the water and gas injection technology; and the proper waterflooding and troubleshooting.
