Why Choose this Training Course?
This comprehensive 5-day online 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.
