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.
