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 is designed to provide participants with a complete and up-to-date overview of hydrocarbon production operation. It covers the complete process from well-headed to export of oil and gas; the overall flow diagram and main plant equipment; the operating principles applicable to all equipment; the pressure, temperature and the part to play in PTW system; the various parts of production operations in the whole oil & gas supply chain; the safety aspects of operation and the isolation methods and procedures; the methods of purging, draining, venting and vessel entry and their importance in hydrocarbon production operations; and the testing procedures for passing valves. 

 

The course will further discuss the basic water treatment and the various good and bad operating practices to avoid practical aspects of production operations; the various parts and functions of the ESD and F&G systems as well as the features of a control system; the types of valves and the principles of operation; and the oil/water/gas separation, gas scrubbing and their process operations. 

 

At the completion of the course, participants will be able to illustrate the concept of hydrate formation and identify the ways on how to avoid and clear it; recognize the corrosion aspects of oil/gas operations and improve guideline procedures on pigging operations; apply first line maintenance for greasing valves, fitter changing, etc.; identify the principles of gas sweetening; and recognize the  nitrogen production, sour water de-oiling, H2S stripping and oil stabilization including their practical application on hydrocarbon production operations.
