Introduction

A production system is the system that transports reservoir fluid from the subsurface to the surface and separates it into oil, gas, and water. From there the oil and gas streams are treated if necessary and prepared for sale or transport from the field. Any water produced will also treated and prepared for disposal or reinjection into the reservoir. The basic elements of a production system are the reservoir, perforations, production packer, production casing, tubing, wellhead, choke, flowline, separator, and tank. This course will provide participants with the knowledge of integrated subsurface surface production optimization. During this course, participants will also learn about nodal analysis and the identification of major pressure losses from the reservoir to separator. The use of specialized software to identify constraints and to propose recommendations to optimize the field will also be covered.

Objective

By the end of the training course, the participants should be able to:

• Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the principles of oil and gas production operation

 • Select and implement most adequate techniques for production operation and subsequent treatment process

 • Relate the gained knowledge in the area of well head operation to real-life cases. DMCT/OL/9/18(Rev3Dt:23/9/18) 2

 • Apply troubleshooting to technical difficulties encountered in the field of specialization.

• Understand in detail of sub surface production operation, and reservoir management.

• How to operate safely well testing to meet target performance of each well.

Audience

The program is ideal for personnel involved in upstream production operations, troubleshooting, process engineering, and technical services as well as others providing services to the oil and gas industry, should also find this program beneficial.

MAESTRO CONSULTANTS Certificate of Completion for delegates who attend and complete the training course

Methodology

Our courses are highly interactive, typically taking a case study approach that we have found to be an effective method of fostering discussions and transferring knowledge. Participants will learn by active participation during the program through the use of individual exercises, questionnaires, team exercises, training videos and discussions of “real life” issues in their organizations.
The material has been designed to enable delegates to apply all of the material with immediate effect back in the workplace.
