Laboratory Analysis for Oil and Gas Production
Details :
This Laboratory Analysis for Oil and Gas Production training
course will introduce how a field laboratory is vital for the operation and
production of oil and gas. Oil and gas production requires many steps before
they can be brought to market. An Oil and Gas production laboratory is
therefore vital in maintaining control of field operations. Managers;
technicians; production engineers: chemists and others will gain a good
understanding of the capabilities and boundaries of a laboratory so that they
can control and optimize production.
This Laboratory Analysis for Oil and Gas Production training
course will highlight:
- The
role of Oil and Gas Laboratory Chemists
- Laboratory
sampling and analysis in oil and gas production
- Laboratory
Management on how to efficiently run an Oil and Gas Production laboratory.
- Crude
oil Assay
- Produced fluid
analysis.
At the end of this 5-day intensive Laboratory Analysis for Oil
and Gas Production training course, you will learn to:
- Understand
the function, importance, and operation of oil and gas laboratories.
- Understand
how to optimize the day-to-day operation of the oil and gas laboratory
- Gain
an insight into how Quality Management is important within and Oil and Gas
Laboratory
- Understand
how the results obtained from the laboratory can enhance the operation of
the processing system and contribute to the integrity of plant and
equipment
- Understand
how process chemicals function and how to utilize them effectively
- Understand
how metering systems operate and how laboratory data contributes to
accurate metering and tanker loading (custody transfer)
- Learn
