Hydrocarbon Production Operations MBA

Why Attend

This program will provide the participants with an integrated view of the hydrocarbon production and related facilities during the life of the reservoir. It will present an overview/fundamental understanding of the wide range of oilfield production handling and treatment equipment. With this view and tools and knowledge on the properties and flow of the fluids provided in this training session, the participant will be able to understand the behavior of the fluids from the reservoir up to end-users. The training gives a strong emphasis on the calculation of reserves, fluids properties from a reservoir through gathering networks. This knowledge is necessary for the surface facility engineer to design or operate the equipment and facilities.
