Course Overview
This 5-day course provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of oil and water treatment processes in the oil and gas industry. Participants will explore the treatment of crude oil for stabilization, dehydration, and sweetening, as well as the treatment of produced and injection water. The course will include hands-on simulation exercises using industry-standard software such as HYSYS™ to simulate oil stabilization processes, associated gas compression, and water treatment processes.
Participants
Petroleum engineers
Chemical engineers
Process engineers
Production engineers
Prerequisites
Basic understanding of oil and gas production processes
Familiarity with HYSYS™ simulation software is advantageous but not required.
Learning Assessment
Continuous assessments all-along the program.
Final assessment including a presentation in front of a jury
