Training Course Overview

This Oil Production and Processing Facilities training course focuses on the operations and processes involved in oil & gas production and the subsequent treatment at surface facilities. It covers the entire oil & gas value chain, from discovery and exploration to transportation, refining, and final sales to downstream industries. The course provides an overview and fundamental understanding of a wide range of oilfield production handling and treatment equipment, along with insights into new technologies.

The course emphasizes both onshore and offshore oil and gas production facilities, covering everything from the wellhead to the delivery of on-spec crude oil to refineries or natural gas to downstream users. Produced water treatment facilities are introduced, with a focus on water injection systems. In addition to the engineering aspects of oil production facilities, practical operational challenges are addressed, including emulsion treatment, sand handling, wax and asphaltene management, natural gas dehydration and sweetening, as well as refinery processing.

Training Course Objectives

By the end of this 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

Designed for

This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals within the Oil and Gas Industries but will greatly benefit:

  • Chemical, Mechanical engineers and Process Technologists,
  • Facility and Inspection engineers
