Production Operations and Surface Facilities

Production Operations and Surface Facilities
 

This course presents a basic overview of all typical oilfield treating and processing equipment. Participants should learn not only the purpose of each piece of equipment but also how each works. Emphasis is on gaining a basic understanding of the purpose and internal workings of all types of surface facilities and treating equipment. 
 

A major goal of this course is to improve communication among all disciplines, the field, and the office. Better communication should enhance operational efficiencies, lower costs, and improve production economics. Daily sessions include formal presentation interspersed with a good number of questions, discussion, and problem-solving.
