Oil and Gas Processing Facilities for Operations and Maintenance - OT-1
Program Overview
This gas processing course provides an overview of the fundamentals and processes involved in gas and oil production. It includes modules tailored to specific regions, such as Marcellus/Bakken (gas processing), Permian/Eagle Ford/North Sea (oil and gas production), and Australia (gas processing).
Program Outline
Outline:
The course content is governed by the common production / processing facilities in the regions where the course is being held. There is gas / LNG content focus, gas / expander plant, or oil / water / gas focused courses. Note that the North Sea content has produced water treating included as well.
