This 5 day training course is designed to provide an understanding of the wide range of surface production handling and treatment equipment. Participants will learn not only “what” but “how” field fluid treating equipment works. Participants will be introduced to the fundamental principles of fluid behavior and how it applies to all of the various equipment and systems comprised in production operations. Emphasis is on understanding the internal workings inside the piping, valves and vessels.

....................................................................................

1. To understand the physical properties and phase behavior of crude oil and natural gas that govern production operations
2. To describe field processes for treating and conditioning full wellstream production for sales or final disposition
3. To name the wide range of equipment used to process, treat, transport, and store oilfield produced fluids
4. To understand the basics of oilfield corrosion prevention, detection and treatment
5. To describe how to determine and minimize pressure drop in pipelines, valves and pressured vessels Internal workings of separators, pumps, compressors, valves and other treating equipment
6. To name the processes and equipment used to handle acid gases
7. To understand the wide range of produced fluid volume measurement and metering devices
8. To describe treating equipment whether located downhole, on the surface, offshore platform or sea floor

NOTE: Objectives for each day will be discussed with the participants and will be verified at closure of each day.

a) to verify if the objectives for this day were met

b) to determine if any adjustments need to be made to the program of the following day (if relevant)
