Objectives

• By the end of this Course participants will be able to:
• Well inflow performance and its impact on processing facilities
• About oil, gas, and water compositions and properties needed for equipment selection and sizing
• How to select and evaluate processes and equipment used to meet sales or disposal specifications
• How to apply physical and thermodynamic property correlations and principles to the design and evaluation of oil production and processing facilities
• How to perform equipment sizing calculations for major production facility separation equipment
• How to evaluate processing configurations for different applications
• How to recognize and develop solutions to operating problems in oil/water processing facilities

The Delegates

Geo-scientists, Engineers and Managers (in Drilling, Well Intervention/Services, Reservoir Engineering, Production Operations, Marketing/Sales etc.), whose jobs require them to interface with Completion Engineers, Production Technologists, Well Production Operations Engineers, and Well Maintenance/Servicing Engineers who wish to enhance their current job effectiveness, through more knowledge on Well Completion and Performance, than that attained from their own “core” discipline training and exposure .
