Surface Equipment Facilities

This Surface Equipment Facilities training course will provide a comprehensive overview of all typical oilfield treating and processing equipment. Participants will learn not only the purpose of each piece of equipment but how each works. Emphasis will be on gaining a detailed understanding of the facilities and the working principles of all types of surface facilities equipment. Through this training course, participants will learn how to operate and control the surface facilities production equipment and processes efficiently and safely.

The PetroKnowledge training course provides both theoretical and practical knowledge and skills highlighting:

• Technology of the main surface production equipment
• The major design guidelines of each equipment
• Equipment common operating parameters & controls
• Equipment common troubleshooting
• Equipment startup/shutdown from/to different modes (Vessel start-up after major maintenance job, power failure, stand by, different ESD levels)
• Related codes & standards for each equipment
• How to maintain the efficient operation of surface production equipment considering safety as the prime consideration

By the end of this training course participants will be able to:

• Identify the main surface facilities equipment, different types, application, selection criteria, the instrument & control devices used, the protection & safety devices installed
• Understand the working principles of each equipment
• Describe the operating context to maximize the equipment reliability and mitigate failure
• Describe the range of application of different types and categories
• Be familiar with common faults and its remedies
• Acquire knowledge on plant equipment operations and troubleshooting
• Review the operational systems, checklists and procedures adopted for process plant equipment commissioning and startup
• Anticipate and avoid all problems associated with oil and gas process plant equipment start-up/shutdown and operate process plants with safety as the prime consideration
• Be fully aware with the equipment used to process and transport produced oil, gas, and water including separators, heater-treaters, tanks, gas dehydration and sour gas sweetening systems, equipment used to clarify produced water, pumps, compressors, and heat exchange equipment
• Understand the effects of produced fluid compositions (oil/gas/water) on facility equipment selection and operation
