Training Surface Facility Production Operations

Course Description

This course will provide participants with the fundamental and principles of production fluid behavior, conditioning, and processing from the wellhead to custody transfer. The participants will learn oilfield production handling at the surface, the treatment equipment, and the processes.
Natural gas and oil physics characteristics, gathering system, separation, treatment, pigging, transportation, measurements, rotating equipment, vessel and piping design and operations will all be covered to enhance operational efficiency. Participants will learn how to design and operate the surface facilities production equipment and processes.
