Overview

Oil Processing Facility Troubleshooting  

About the Course

 The establishment and application of a general troubleshooting approach as well as process- and equipment-specific troubleshooting related to oil production and processing facilities will both be covered in this course.

For each process and type of equipment addressed, definitions of good and normal performance will be covered. The processes for acquiring, validating, and using data will be covered. We'll also talk about how to evaluate potential problem solutions. The learning goals will be reinforced throughout the lesson via real-world exercises. We'll talk about both onshore and offshore facilities.

 Participants in the course are expected to have a thorough understanding of how typical oil production and processing facilities operate, including the frequently employed procedures and machinery. Fundamentals won't be covered in-depth in this course.

Target Audience

 senior facility operations staff, facility engineering team leaders/supervisors, and process/facilities engineers with 5–10 years of experience.

Course Objectives

•  The distinctions between debottlenecking, optimization, and troubleshooting How to spot problems as they're happening
• How to create a rigorous troubleshooting process
• to comprehend the relevance of the relationships between the many parts of a facility and how they affect one another.
• How to collect, verify, and make use of the data required for troubleshooting
• The factors to take into account when choosing the ideal option from various workable ones
• For the primary types of processes and equipment utilized in upstream/midstream oil production and processing operations, typical sources of issues and their fixes are provided.

Course Outlines

•  Knowing the similarities and distinctions between optimization, debottlenecking, and troubleshooting
•  various facilities for producing and processing oil
• System issues as opposed to equipment- or component-specific issues How to define "good/normal operation"
• calculating the difficulty's cost
• Data collection, validation, and use (data types, data sources, data quality, validation of the data, and data use)
• Root cause analysis and methodology basics creating a flowchart or process for troubleshooting problems step by step Choosing the best answer (using the best criteria)
• eparation equipment, oil treating and desalting, oil stabilization and sweetening, oil storage and vapor recovery, produced water treatment, centrifugal pumps, and water injection are some of the processing and key equipment modules addressed.
