Introduction
This Oil Production and Processing Facilities training course provides a structured and practical understanding of how hydrocarbons are produced, handled, treated, and prepared for export at surface facilities. The training course is designed to give participants a clear picture of the role production facilities play in maximizing recovery, ensuring product quality, maintaining safety, and meeting commercial and environmental requirements.
Oil and gas production facilities form the critical link between the subsurface reservoir and downstream transportation, refining, and marketing systems. Understanding how production fluids behave, how separation and treatment systems function, and how operational constraints affect production performance is essential for effective technical, operational, and commercial decision-making.
This training course presents the full production facility workflow—from the wellhead through separation, treating, gas handling, and measurement—using clear concepts and industry terminology. Emphasis is placed on facility fundamentals, system integration, and the interaction between reservoir behavior and surface operations.
This GLOMACS Oil Production and Processing Facilities training course will feature:
- Overview of oil production systems and surface facilities
- Separation and produced water handling fundamentals
- Crude oil treating, desalting, and stabilization concepts
- Gas handling, compression, and basic processing
- Oil measurement and hydrocarbon allocation principles
