Introduction

Petroleum Production Operations: an In-Depth Understanding of Oil and Gas Production Operations

 

This comprehensive course outline for Petroleum Production Operations covers both subsurface and surface operations, focusing on maximizing hydrocarbon recovery, optimizing production, and ensuring safe, economical field management. 
 
  • Audience: Petroleum engineers, production technicians, production operators, and industry professionals.
  • Learning Objectives: Ability to operate surface equipment, select artificial lift methods, manage well integrity, and apply economic principles to production scenarios.
 
Course Modules & Topics
Module 1: Introduction to Production Operations
  • The Production System: Overview of upstream, midstream, and downstream operations.
  • Production Life Cycle: From drilling to abandonment, including primary, secondary, and tertiary recovery methods.
  • Reservoir Drives & Mechanisms: Natural water drive, gas cap expansion, solution gas drive, and fluid expansion. 
Module 2: Subsurface Production Operations
  • Well Completion Design: Casing, cementing, and perforation strategies.
  • Wellhead & Christmas Tree: Components, design, and surface flow control.
  • Production Tubing & Packers: Selection, sizing, and configuration.
  • Artificial Lift Systems: Techniques for handling declining reservoir pressure (Sucker Rod Pumps, Gas Lift, ESPs, Jet Pumps).
  • Well Stimulation: Acidizing (matrix stimulation) and hydraulic fracturing for sandstones and carbonates.
  • Well Interventions: Wireline, coiled tubing, and slickline operations for maintenance. 
Module 3: Surface Production Facilities
