Introduction

This program has been developed to provide an in-depth, yet practical review of the art and science of Production Chemistry & Chemical Treatment in the Oil & Gas Fields.

Starting with Crude oil processing facilities from the wellhead to the delivery of a specification crude oil product to the refinery as well as solution gas handling processes and equipment will be discussed.

Chemicals used for controlling corrosion, emulsions, foaming, mineral scales, paraffins (waxes), asphaltenes, gas hydrates, hydrogen sulfide scavengers and water clarifiers are covered. The course also includes methods to determine the need for chemical treating and how to select the proper chemicals. The course will include how the use of chemicals can prevent problems, improve production and economics, and extend the life of the production equipment. The program’s content is both comprehensive and wide-ranging. Latest, effective logistics management and warehouse system in the manufacturing industry.

Objective

Upon the successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:-

Select and evaluate processes and equipment used to condition well fluids, to meet sales or disposal specifications.
