Production Chemistry in Oil and Gas Production |
|
|
During the remaining lifetime of an oil or gas field, the application of economic methods in the treatment process is a prerequisite for ensuring compliance with specifications for the gas, oil, and water phase. Treatment plant efficiency is, among other factors, depending on the proper application of chemicals. Complexity and potential problems increase exponentially with the number of chemicals employed in the system. It is therefore essential to consider process engineering knowledge and the impact of chemicals applied.
This course bridges the gap between process technology and production chemistry. It includes aspects common to operational issues such as organic precipitates (asphaltenes and waxes), water treatment and quality for re-injection, causes of non-effective treatment plants, interpretation of water analyses, rules of SRB’s in oil and gas production, scale formation (including NORM scale), stimulation concepts, chemicals in gas production, occurrence of Halite scale in gas production and storage. The course focuses on practical onsite experience. Case histories and practical examples will be discussed.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
- Oil and gas treatment systems
- Conditions for asphaltene and wax precipitation
- Rules of inhibitors
- Definition and monitoring water quality
- How to control the efficiency of a treatment unit
- Rules of SRB in oil and gas production
- Conditions of scale formation in treatment systems
- Development of sustainable stimulation concepts
OUTLINE
- Organic precipitates in oil production
- Inhibitor screening and application
- Water quality and impact on re-injection systems
- Main causes of non-effective treatment plants

WHO SOULD ATTEND
This five-day course is designed for engineers, project managers, chemists, field operational staff currently or potentially involved in natural gas or oil production and storage operations. Others seeking an overview of sustainable improvements in the gas/oil production process may also find the course beneficial.
