About the Course
This course aims to provide the participants with an integrated view of how oil and gas is produced, focusing on production and related facilities throughout the lifetime of the reservoir. The role of current technology will be presented and in addition, will include an overview of new and emerging technologies used to improve the bottom line.
This course will dwell in to the understanding of the wide range of oilfield production handling and treatment equipment that are utilized during exploration and production. Participants will be able to appreciate how fluids behave in the reservoir and how these are extracted, processed and refined.
Course Objectives
- Up-to-date global statistics of oil & gas, reserves, production, consumption and exports
- Familiarization of the oil and gas supply chain: upstream, mid-stream and downstream operations and related facilities
- Update participants of the various methods and technologies used to explore, drill, produce, treat and transport oil, gas and their products
- Essentials of international oil and gas supply, economics and transportation
- The key economic drivers of the international oil gas value chain.
- Primary logistics – tanker freight costs and chartering
- Supply logistics – major international pipelines, shipping routes, and choke points
- The configuration and structure of different refineries from simple to complex
- The value of crude oil based on product market prices retail and distribution
