COURSE OVERVIEW

 This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Chemical Treatment (Well Bore, Well and Lines). It covers the importance of chemical treatment in wellbore and pipelines; the types of chemicals used in the industry; the basics of wellbore and pipeline corrosion and the role of inhibitors in corrosion prevention; the types of scales, causes of scaling in oilfield operations and the impacts on flow assurance and equipment; and the scale inhibitors, safety and environmental considerations in chemical treatment and formation damage. 

 

Further, the course will also discuss the acidizing as a chemical treatment and clay stabilization in wellbore operations; the paraffin and asphaltene deposition and solvent-based treatments; the importance of flow assurance, common flow issues, impacts of flow assurance problems on production and the role of chemical treatment in mitigating flow assurance issues; the mechanism of wax formation in pipelines, chemical treatments for wax prevention and monitoring techniques for wax deposits; and the hydrate formation and prevention, emulsion formation and demulsifiers and chemical treatments for pipeline cleaning. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the microbial induced corrosion (MIC) and chemical treatments for H2S and CO2 management; the water treatment for injection and disposal; the compatibility of chemicals in multiphase systems; the remedial treatments for failed wells and lines; the smart chemical systems, chemical treatment design and planning; the proper monitoring and optimization of treatments; troubleshooting common issues in chemical treatment; and the economic and environmental considerations.
