Choosing the Right Facilities Equipment for the Reservoir

This course introduces oil and gas production facilities from the perspective of concept selection and early field development planning. It explains how reservoir type, drive mechanism, fluid properties and location shape the choice and specification of surface equipment, from the wellhead through separation, treatment and produced water handling.
