Course description
Produced water treating facilities are introduced and discussed and includes coverage of water injection systems. In addition to the engineering aspects of oil production facilities, practical operating problems will also be covered, including treatment of emulsions, handling of sand, dealing with wax and asphaltenes, natural gas dehydration, and sweetening and refinery processing
Oil Production and Processing Facilities course focuses on oil & gas production and subsequent treatment surface facility operations and processes. The course covers the entire oil & gas value chain from discovery, exploration, and transportation through to refining and finally sales to downstream industries.
An overview and fundamental understanding of the wide range of oilfield production handling and treatment equipment will be presented as well as new technologies.
