Introduction
This course focuses on the processes involved in the receiving, handling, and separation of crude oil at production facilities. Operators will learn how to manage oil receiving systems, operate separators efficiently, and ensure that separation processes meet the required standards for both quality and safety.
Objective
By the end of the course, participants will be able to understand
- Understand the principles and processes of oil receiving and separation.
- Learn how to operate and maintain oil receiving equipment.
- Gain knowledge of different types of separation processes (e.g., mechanical, chemical).
- Learn how to monitor and troubleshoot oil separation systems.
- Ensure compliance with safety and environmental regulations during operations.
Audience
- Operators and technicians working in oil receiving and separation systems.
- Maintenance engineers and operators involved in oil production and processing.
- Safety officers and supervisors in oil and gas facilities.
- Anyone interested in learning about oil receiving and separation processes.
