The purpose of this course is to present an overview and basic understanding of the wide range of oilfield production handling and treatmentequipment. The participant should learn not only “what” but “how” field fluid treating equipment works. The fundamental principles of fluid behavior are first introduced, then applied to all of the various equipment and systems comprising production operations. Emphasis is on understanding the internal workings inside the piping, valves and treating vessels. A major goal of this course is to improve communication among the technical disciplines, field and office in order to enhance operational efficiencies, lower costs and improve production economics. Example step-by-step exercises are worked together with the instructor to drive home the important points. Daily sessions include formal presentation interspersed with many short directed discussion and problem solving.
Course objectives
Who Should attend?
Technical, field, service, support and supervisory personnel having interaction with Facilities Engineers and desiring to gain an awareness level understanding of the field processing of production fluids. This course is excellent for cross-training. This course delivers an understanding of all the fundamental field treating facilities: What they are – Why they are needed – How they work.
