Course Summary

Efficient field processing and surface production facilities are critical to maximising hydrocarbon recovery, maintaining operational reliability, and ensuring safe, environmentally responsible oil and gas production. Professionals working in upstream operations require a thorough understanding of production processes, processing technologies, and surface facilities to optimise performance and support sustainable operations. The Field Processing and Surface Production training course provides comprehensive knowledge of field processing systems, enabling participants to understand the principles, equipment, and technologies used to process crude oil, natural gas, and produced water while improving operational efficiency and asset performance.

The training course also develops practical expertise in oil, gas, and water separation, crude oil conditioning, gas treatment, water management, and the operation of essential surface production equipment. Participants will strengthen their understanding of water injection systems, oilfield chemicals, storage facilities, vapour recovery systems, piping, and pumps while learning how these systems contribute to safe and reliable production. The Field Processing and Surface Production training course equips professionals with the technical knowledge and operational capability required to optimise field processing facilities, minimise operational risks, and support sustainable upstream production.
