Oil and Gas Processing Facilities for Operations and Maintenance - OT-1

Course

About the Course

The public course content is governed by the common production / processing facilities in the regions where the course is being held. There is gas / LNG content focus, gas / expander plant, or oil / water / gas focused courses. Note that the North Sea content has produced water treating included as well. The course is customizable to meet client needs at no additional cost.

Target Audience

Facility operators who require a working knowledge of the various processes used in production fluid conditioning and processing, including the common operational difficulties that may arise and operational tactics used to resolve them. Also suitable for maintenance technicians, supervisors, and managers, as well as other non-engineering personnel who would benefit in an understanding of gas processing techniques that can be applied to their daily work activities.

You Will Learn

  • About the effects of produced fluid compositions (oil/gas/water) on facility operation
  • About separation, conditioning, and processing operations to meet product specifications on oil, gas, and produced water streams for disposal/re-use
  • How to operate facilities to minimize operating costs
  • How to apply course material to troubleshooting equipment and unit operations

Course Content

  • Basic chemistry and physical principles related to hydrocarbons
