Surface Production Systems

Surface Production Systems

Description :

This course is designed to present an overview and fundamental understanding of the wide variety of oilfield production, processing and treatment equipment. Emphasis is on understanding the "what" and the "how" workings inside the piping, valves and vessels.

A major goal of this training is to improve communication among the technical disciplines, field and office in order to enhance efficiencies, lower costs and improve production economics.

Objectives :

We will learn :

- The physical properties and phase behavior of crude oil and natural gas
- Process, Level, Temperature and Pressure Controls
- Oil treating, Heater treater and Dehydrator
- Separators, Stage Separators and Sizing, Two-phase and Three-phase Separation
- How to determine and minimize pressure drop in pipelines, valves and pressured vessels
- Internal workings of separators, pumps, compressors, valves and other treating equipment
- Working principles of a wide range of fluid measurement and metering devices
- Handling water injection well, tips and trick to design filter or operation system
