Introduction to Oil and Gas Processing

Oil and gas processing involves a series of operations designed to separate, treat, and transport hydrocarbons safely and efficiently from the wellhead to end-users. This course provides a comprehensive overview of the key processes following the wellhead, including gas and oil separation, water treatment, compression, and stabilization. Participants will explore essential equipment, operational parameters, and quality control measures, alongside best practices for operation and maintenance, culminating in practical case studies to reinforce their understanding.

Audience

This course is designed for:

Petroleum engineers
Operation & Production Engineers
Maintenance Engineers
Technical and Managerial Staff those seeking to enhance their knowledge in OIL & GAS Processing Fundamentals.

Course objectives

By end of the course participants will gain:

Understanding the key stages in oil and gas processing after the extraction.
Knowledge about essential processing equipment and its operation.
Skills in process control and quality management..
Understand safe and efficient operation and maintenance practices.
Apply practical knowledge through case studies and exercises.
