Full disclaimer.Description
This course provides an overview of the main water handling systems typically encountered in upstream (E&P) production operations, both onshore and offshore. The chemistry of the main water related problems of mineral scales, corrosion, bacteria, and oily water will be reviewed both from the theoretical and practical aspects. Produced water treatment equipment and typical water quality specifications will be reviewed as well as water injection and disposal systems. An exercise will be given to identify typical system problems and you will be able to apply the knowledge you gained to propose solutions. Emphasis will be placed on understanding and resolving operational problems in process equipment.
Course Objectives
Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:
- Understand and learn the basics of oilfield water chemistry
- Monitor and control corrosion, scale, and bacterial growth in produced water and water injection/disposal systems
- Implement system surveillance programs to detect potential problems before system damage occurs
- Produced (oily) water treatment options and related treatment equipment
- Use the knowledge gained to identify typical system problems and be able to propose solutions
