Basic Production Technology
This course is designed to provide a basic understanding of the oil and gas production operations as applied to the offshore oil and gas industry. Beginning with the reservoir, the hydrocarbon process is described and illustrated to provide information about the producing well, flowlines, headers, fundamentals of separation and process vessels and equipment necessary to reach point of sale and water disposal. Artificial lift, secondary recovery and gas compression are covered to the extent of awareness and basic integration into the production process. Participants will partake in a practical exercise involving interaction with a three-phase separator acrylic model. They will also be shown various cutouts of commonly used production equipment in our on-site production facility.Topics Covered
