Training Overview

Training Overview

The Coventry Academy's 5-day training course focuses exclusively on oil and gas production operations and the surface treatment facilities involved in these processes. Encompassing the entire oil and gas value chain—from initial discovery and exploration, through transportation, refining, and eventual sales to downstream industries—the course provides a comprehensive overview. Participants will gain essential insights into a wide array of production handling and treatment equipment, alongside exposure to cutting-edge technologies shaping the industry today.

This intensive course places a significant emphasis on both onshore and offshore oil and gas production facilities, spanning operations from the wellhead to the delivery of refined crude oil to refineries or natural gas to end-users. Detailed discussions cover the operation and maintenance of production equipment, as well as comprehensive insights into produced water treatment and injection systems. Practical challenges such as emulsion treatment, sand management, wax and asphaltenes handling, natural gas dehydration and sweetening, and refinery processing are also thoroughly addressed, ensuring participants are well-prepared to tackle real-world operational complexities.

What are the goals?

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

  • Learn the origins and chemical characteristics of Oil & Gas
  • Understand the challenges associated with offshore operations, horizontal drilling and other safety concerns
  • Familiarize the participants with various methods and techniques used to explore, drill, produce, treat and transport Oil, Gas and their products
  • Introduce the participants to upstream, mid-stream and downstream operations
  • Appreciate Oil & Natural Gas treatment technologies and processes including produced water treatment
  • Learn the many processes involved in crude oil refining and how these contribute to refinery complexity and profitability
  • Gain valuable knowledge of Gas Sweetening and Physical Solvents Unit Troubleshooting

Who is this Training Course for?

This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals within the Oil and Gas Industries but will greatly benefit:

  • Chemical, Mechanical engineers and Process Technologists,
  • Facility and Inspection engineers
  • Maintenance or project engineers
  • Operations and Laboratory Chemists
  • Technicians, support engineers and engineering trainees
  • Consultants and Sales professionals

How will this Training Course be Presented?

To ensure the concepts introduced during the program are understood, they will be reinforced through a mix of learning methods, including lecture style presentations, short videos, open discussion, case studies, and group work.

This highly interactive, stimulating course will be augmented with presenter led opportunities for advancing the participants’ opinions and ideas by discussions and workshops, and syndicate exercises and examples.
