Training Introduction

The Oil Production and Processing Facilities Training Course provides a structured and practical understanding of how hydrocarbons are produced, processed, and prepared for export through surface facilities. This training course explains how oil, gas, and water produced from reservoirs are handled through different stages of production operations—from the wellhead to the export terminal. Participants will gain a clear understanding of the role that production facilities play in maximizing hydrocarbon recovery, maintaining operational safety, ensuring product quality, and meeting environmental and commercial requirements.

Oil and gas production facilities form the vital connection between subsurface reservoirs and downstream transportation, refining, and marketing systems. In this Oil Production and Processing Facilities Training Course, participants will learn how production fluids behave within surface systems and how separation, treatment, and processing equipment operate within an integrated production environment. The training course highlights how operational constraints, facility design, and system interactions influence production performance and operational decision-making.

This course also explores the full production workflow, including separation systems, crude oil treatment, gas handling processes, and hydrocarbon measurement practices. By combining industry terminology with practical examples, the training course provides valuable insight into how upstream production facilities operate and how different systems work together to support efficient and reliable hydrocarbon production.

Key focus areas of this course

  • Understanding the fundamentals of oil production systems and surface processing facilities in upstream operations

  • Learning the principles of oil, gas, and water separation and produced water handling in production facilities

  • Exploring crude oil treating processes, including dehydration, desalting, and stabilization

  • Understanding gas handling systems, compression processes, and basic gas processing operations

  • Learning the principles of oil measurement, custody transfer, and hydrocarbon allocation

  • Recognizing how reservoir behaviour and surface facility operations interact to influence production performance

What are the goals?

The Oil Production and Processing Facilities Training Course aims to develop a clear understanding of how upstream production facilities operate and how hydrocarbons are handled at surface processing systems. Participants will gain practical insight into the relationship between reservoir production, facility operations, and export preparation processes.

By the end of this Oil Production Facilities Training Course, participants will be able to interpret production facility workflows, understand separation and treatment systems, and recognise how operational decisions influence production performance and reporting.

Participants will be able to:

  • Understand the role of oil production and processing facilities within upstream oil and gas operations

  • Explain how reservoir fluids are produced and handled at surface facilities

  • Describe the principles of oil, gas, and water separation used in production systems

  • Understand the fundamentals of crude oil treatment, dehydration, and stabilization processes

  • Explain how gas handling, compression, and basic gas processing systems support production operations

  • Interpret oil measurement systems and hydrocarbon allocation methods used for production reporting

  • Recognize the relationship between facility performance, production optimization, and operational constraints

Who is this Training Course for?

The Oil Production and Processing Facilities Training Course is designed for professionals involved in upstream oil and gas operations who require a practical understanding of production facilities and processing systems. The course helps participants understand how surface facilities operate and how production fluids are managed, treated, and measured before export.

This training course is particularly valuable for professionals who work with production data, operational decision-making, or technical support functions and need to understand the operational principles behind oil production facilities and hydrocarbon processing systems.

This training course is suitable for:

  • Production, operations, and facilities engineers involved in oil and gas production systems

  • Petroleum, reservoir, and drilling professionals seeking a better understanding of surface operations

  • Operations supervisors and field personnel responsible for production activities

  • Technical support and asset management staff working with upstream production facilities

  • Professionals involved in production optimization and operational performance monitoring

  • Commercial, planning, and reporting professionals involved in production data and allocation

  • Personnel working in oil and gas facility operations and production support roles

  • Engineers and specialists seeking a broader understanding of surface processing systems and production workflows

How will this Training Course be Presented?

This training course is delivered using a blended learning approach that combines structured technical explanations with practical industry examples. Participants will learn through clear presentations that explain how production facilities operate and how hydrocarbons are processed through different stages of the upstream production system. The course content focuses on real operational practices used in oil and gas facilities, helping participants understand how theoretical concepts apply in field operations.

The sessions also include facilitated discussions and practical examples that demonstrate the interaction between reservoir production, surface processing equipment, and production reporting systems. Participants are encouraged to share experiences and discuss operational scenarios related to oil production facilities. This interactive learning approach helps reinforce key concepts while ensuring that the knowledge gained can be applied effectively in real-world oil and gas production environments.
