Course Introduction

This course is designed to ensure awareness and effective understanding of various phases of production operation fundamentals through understanding the functions of various oil field components, from well to processing facilities.
 

The course also addresses and emphasizes the fundamental understanding of a wide range of oilfield production handling and treatment equipment, not only “what” but “how” the field fluid treating equipment works.
 

The major objective of this course is to improve communication amongst the technical disciplines across organizations in order to enhance operational and cross-functional work performance, promote cooperation and teamwork spirit amongst the teams across various organizations, optimize cost, and improve production economics. This can be the operator's best insurance to achieve successful, safe, and cost-effective operations.
