COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators.

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Laboratory Analyses for Oil & Gas Production. It covers the sample collection and handling; the basic analytical equipment for oil & gas labs; the analytical techniques, hydrocarbon analysis, water quality testing in oil & gas and acidity and alkalinity testing; the sulfur content analysis, elemental analysis, gas chromatography for volatile compounds and viscosity and density measurement; the corrosion and scale analysis, advanced chromatography techniques and mass spectrometry for oil & gas; and the fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, rheological properties of fluids, bioanalytical methods in oil & gas and environmental and safety considerations in laboratory analysis.

During this interactive course, participants will learn the laboratory role in drilling operations, production chemistry and scaling control; the reservoir fluids and well testing, well stimulation and laboratory support; the production water treatment laboratory, quality assurance and control in production laboratories; the data interpretation and analysis, troubleshooting laboratory equipment and reporting and documentation standards; troubleshooting common production issues; the laboratory auditing and compliance; and the future trends and innovations in laboratory analysis.
