Course Introduction

This Oil Production and Processing Facilities training course delves into oil and gas production and the operations and processes of surface facilities. Covering the entire oil and gas value chain, the course spans from discovery and exploration to transportation, refining, and sales to downstream industries.

Participants will gain a fundamental understanding of a wide range of oilfield production handling and treatment equipment, including the latest technologies. The course emphasizes both onshore and offshore production facilities, detailing processes from the wellhead to the delivery of on-specification crude oil or natural gas.

In addition to exploring engineering aspects of oil production facilities, the course addresses practical operating problems. These include treatment of emulsions, handling of sand, managing wax and asphaltenes, natural gas dehydration, sweetening, and refinery processing. Participants will leave with a solid grasp of both the theoretical and practical elements essential for efficient oil and gas production and treatment.

Training Objectives

By the end of this COPEX training course, participants will be able to:

  • Learn the origins and chemical characteristics of Oil & Gas
  • Understand the challenges associated with offshore operations, horizontal drilling and other safety concerns
  • Familiarize the participants with various methods and techniques used to explore, drill, produce, treat and transport Oil, Gas and their products
  • Introduce the participants to upstream, mid-stream and downstream operations
  • Appreciate Oil & Natural Gas treatment technologies and processes including produced water treatment
  • Learn the many processes involved in crude oil refining and how these contribute to refinery complexity and profitability
  • Gain valuable knowledge of Gas Sweetening and Physical Solvents Unit Troubleshooting

Training Methodology

To ensure the concepts introduced during the program are understood, they will be reinforced through a mix of learning methods, including lecture style presentations, short videos, open discussion, case studies, and group work.

This highly interactive, stimulating course will be augmented with presenter led opportunities for advancing the participants’ opinions and ideas by discussions and workshops, and syndicate exercises and examples.
