Oil and Gas field operations are complex, equipment is capital intensive, and entails health, safety and environmental risks. The oil and gas field operations include several stages and processes. It starts from the oil exploration stage and extend to include the oil recovery, production and treatment operations.

This 5-day accelerated program has been designed to enable delegates to learn more about the state-of-the-art oil & gas field operations, production methods, commingled production process and related facilities. It will also present an overview/fundamental understanding of the wide range of oilfield production handling and treatment equipment. It will also provide the delegates with an overall understanding of the fluid behavior inside the reservoir, through the downhole tubular and the processing facilities. It is exceptionally useful for those who would like to obtain an overview of the oil & gas business, industry components, production technology and different oil and gas recovery methods.

Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will learn how to:

• Recognize the latest Game-changing oil & gas field technologies – seismic, well-logging, drilling, horizontal wells, fracking, etc.
• Comprehend the global oil & gas related statistics
• Recognize upstream, middle stream and downstream operations and related facilities
• Distinguish methods and techniques used throughout the Oil & Gas Industry to explore, drill, produce, treat and transport oil, gas and their products
• Master the field facilities from the reservoir to end users
• Understand oil & gas field operational problems and troubleshooting
• Recognise the importance commingled oil & gas production
