Oil and Gas Field Operations and Commingled Productions Allocations

Introduction

Oil and Gas field operations are complex, equipment is capital intensive, and entails health, safety, and environmental risks. The oil and gas field operations include several stages and processes. It starts from the oil exploration stage and extends to include the oil recovery, production, and treatment operations.

This 5-day accelerated program on Oil & Gas Field Operations and Commingled Productions Allocations has been designed to enable delegates to learn more about the state-of-the-art oil & gas field operations, production methods, commingled production process, and related facilities. It will also present an overview/fundamental understanding of the wide range of oilfield production handling and treatment equipment. It will also provide the delegates with an overall understanding of the fluid behavior inside the reservoir, through the downhole tubular and the processing facilities. It is exceptionally useful for those who would like to obtain an overview of the oil & gas business, industry components, production technology and different oil and gas recovery methods.

Objectives

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Recognize the latest Game-changing oil & gas field technologies – seismic, well-logging, drilling, horizontal wells, fracking, etc.
• Comprehend the global oil & gas related statistics
• Recognize upstream, middle stream and downstream operations and related facilities
• Distinguish methods and techniques used throughout the Oil & Gas Industry to explore, drill, produce, treat and transport oil, gas and their products
• Master the field facilities from the reservoir to end-users
• Understand oil & gas field operational problems and troubleshooting
• Recognize the importance of commingled oil & gas production
• Understand the allocation of commingled allocation to reservoirs, fields & platforms
• Understand the various production and recovery techniques and methods
• Evaluating oil & gas reserves, artificial lift, and enhanced oil recovery techniques
• Conduct economic evaluation on field development projects and risk analysis

Training Methodology

This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations. The online course is conducted online using MS-Teams/ClickMeeting.
