Field Processing and Surface Production

Field processing and surface production facilities serve as the interface between hydrocarbon reservoirs and end-users. These facilities encompass an array of sophisticated equipment and processes designed to extract, separate, and treat crude oil and natural gas, ensuring the production of high-quality products while adhering to stringent environmental and safety standards.

This PetroKnowledge training course is a complete package of topics that cover all aspects in relation to oil and gas field processing and surface production facilities; fundamental knowledge, two-phase and three-phase oil, gas and water separation, emulsion treatment, dehydration, desalting, stabilisation, and sweetening of crude oil. The course will cover gas handling, sour gas treatment, gas dehydration, natural gas liquid separation, as well as produced water characteristics, disposal standards, and water treatment equipment. In addition, the delegates get familiar with essential topics such as water injection systems, oil field chemicals, field storage tanks, vapor recovery systems, tank blanketing, and the role of piping and pumps in the field processing and surface production facilities

This Field Processing and Surface Production training course will highlight:

• Fundamentals and Basic Principles of Field Processing and Production Facilities
• Produced Fluid (Oil, Gas and Water) Separation
• Crude Oil Treatment
• Gas Treatment and Handling
• Produced Water Treating Systems
• Water Injection Systems, Oil Field Chemicals
• Field Storage Tanks, Piping and Pumps

By the end of this Field Processing and Surface Production training course, participants will:

• Establish a foundational understanding of oil and gas production principles, production engineering roles, equipment selection, and surface facility operations
• Become proficient in the design, sizing, and troubleshooting of gas-liquid and three-phase separators, gaining practical skills for effective separation processes
• Acquire knowledge and skills related to emulsion treatment, dehydration, desalting, and stabilisation of crude oil, along with equipment description and sizing
• Develop expertise in sour gas treatment, gas dehydration, natural gas liquids separation, and managing produced water treatment systems while adhering to disposal standards.
• Master the design and operation of water injection systems, the use of oil field chemicals, field storage tank management, vapor recovery systems, and the role of piping and pumps in facility operations.
