Essentials of Petroleum Technology
Overview
This course will provide the participants with an integrated view of the oil and gas production and related facilities during the life of the reservoir. It will present an overview/fundamental understanding of the wide range of oilfield production handling and treatment equipment.
Learning Outcomes:
Delegates will at the end of the course be better able to:
- Gain an overall knowledge of various hydrocarbon production processes from the time a reservoir is discovered to end users
- Understand the role of the petroleum/reservoir engineer in optimizing recovery
- Familiarize with various surface and sub-surface equipment and processing facilities used in a typical oil & gas field.
- Gain a general knowledge about health, safety and environmental issues.
- Understand the role of petroleum economics in evaluating field development projects
