Course Objective:

This highly interactive and intensive course presents a general overview and fundamental and applied understanding of the wide range of oilfield production handling and treatment equipment.

The participant will learn how field fluid treating equipment works. The fundamental principles of fluid behaviour in relation to all the various equipment and systems comprising production operations are discussed. Understanding of the internal workings

of the piping, valves and vessels are also described. A major goal includes how to improve communication among the technical disciplines, field and office personnel in order to enhance operational efficiencies, lower costs and improve production economics.

Who should attend

Production, operations, facilities and petroleum engineers; production managers and field production supervisors and surface equipment technicians
