TRAINING SURFACE PRODUCTION FACILITY OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

DESCRIPTION

This course will provide participants with the fundamental and principles of production fluid behavior, conditioning, and processing from the wellhead to custody transfer. The participants will learn oilfield production handling at the surface, the treatment equipment, and the processes.

Natural gas and oil physics characteristics, gathering system, separation, treatment, pigging, transportation, measurements, rotating equipment, vessel and piping design, and operations will all be covered to enhance operational efficiencies.

• Operations & Production Engineers:

Technical personnel responsible for monitoring daily surface operations, optimizing process parameters (separator pressure/temperature, dehydration, gas sweetening), and troubleshooting system bottlenecks.

• Maintenance & Reliability Engineers:

Engineers managing preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance programs for static and rotating equipment (pumps, compressors, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, piping).

• Field Operations Supervisors & Technologists:

Onsite supervisors leading field operations, well pads, gathering stations, processing plants, and offshore platforms.

• Plant Maintenance Technicians & Mechanics:

Technicians directly maintaining mechanical systems, valves, instrumentation, electrical systems, and safety shutdown valves (SDVs/ESDs).

• Asset Integrity & Inspection Engineers:

Professionals executing piping and pressure vessel integrity monitoring, corrosion control programs, and risk-based inspection (RBI) strategies.

• HSE & Facility Commissioning Specialists:

Safety and commissioning teams ensuring hazardous facility operations comply with process safety management (PSM) and environmental standards.
