Why Choose this Training Course?

This Hydrocarbon Production Operations training course aims to provide the participants with an integrated view of how oil and gas is produced, focusing on production and related facilities throughout the lifetime of the reservoir. The role of current technology will be presented and in addition, will include an overview of new and emerging technologies used to improve the bottom line, in the current competitive low oil price environment.

An understanding of wide range of oilfield production handling and treatment equipment that are utilized during exploration and production. The participants will be able to appreciate how fluids behave in the reservoir and how these are extracted processed and refined into finished on-specification marketable products. Several topics such as reserves calculations and fluids properties along with the surface facilities configurations will be presented to achieve strong knowledge on how the fields are operated with optimum production rate and minimum costs. The Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) technologies will be discussed to highlight its role in the reserve values.  

This Petroknowledge training course will highlight:

  • Up to date global statistics of oil & gas, reserves, production, consumption, and exports
  • Familiarization of the oil and gas supply chain: upstream, mid-stream and downstream operations and related facilities
