Field Processing and Surface Production

Introduction

This Field Processing and Surface Production training course is designed for professionals who want to strengthen their expertise in upstream oil and gas production facilities and optimise field processing operations. Effective surface production systems are essential for safely converting reservoir fluids into marketable hydrocarbons while maintaining operational efficiency, environmental compliance, and asset integrity. Developing a comprehensive understanding of these processes enables organisations to improve production performance, minimise operational risks, and achieve sustainable results.

This Field Processing and Surface Production training course provides an in-depth understanding of the principles, equipment, and technologies used throughout oil and gas field processing and surface production facilities. Participants will explore crude oil, natural gas, and produced water treatment processes, including separation, dehydration, desalting, stabilisation, sweetening, gas handling, and water management systems. The training also covers water injection systems, oilfield chemicals, storage facilities, vapour recovery systems, tank blanketing, piping, and pumps, equipping participants with the practical knowledge required to improve operational performance and support reliable production across field facilities.

This GLOMACS Field Processing and Surface Production training course will highlight:

• Fundamental principles of field processing and surface production facilities
• Oil, gas, and produced water separation technologies
• Crude oil treatment and conditioning processes
