Produced Water Management, Treatment & Reinjection
£11850.00
INTRODUCTION
Produced water is a common fluid stream in exploration and production operations, typically containing formation water or previously injected floodwater. Proper management and treatment of produced water are essential for maintaining oil and gas production efficiency. This Al-Majd Pathways Centre (APC) Produced Water Management, Treatment & Reinjection training course covers both theoretical and practical aspects, focusing on the latest technologies for treating injection and produced water in onshore and offshore facilities. It addresses various challenges related to microbial, chemical, physical, and environmental factors in produced water, aiming to reduce operational and maintenance costs.
TRAINING OBJECTIVES
The key objectives of this training course are to equip participants with the knowledge and skills to:
Implement efficient produced water treatment techniques to reduce operation and maintenance costs.
Understand injectivity and scale prevention in reservoirs.
Manage water effectively in oil & gas production facilities.
Improve the quality of produced water and injection water.
Implement effective sampling and oil in water monitoring techniques.
Stay updated on the latest environmental legislation and regulations.
Efficiently remove sulphate and bacteria from injection water.
Address complex oilfield microbial challenges.
Control sour gas and hydrogen sulfide production to mitigate corrosion.
Learn about emulsion formation, mitigation, and prevention techniques.
Understand produced water treatment for mature fields and subsea satellites.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This training course is intended for professionals responsible for designing, operating, and maintaining facilities that process and manage produced water. It is particularly relevant to:
Plant and production engineers
Chemists
Senior operations personnel
TRAINING METHODOLOGY
The training will be highly interactive, with opportunities for participants to share questions and experiences and apply course material to real-life case studies. It will include multimedia elements such as PowerPoint presentations, animations, learning videos, and general discussions to provide a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter.
