Production and Completions
Production Chemistry
As fields age and water cuts climb, operators lean more heavily on chemical treatment to keep wells and plant running. The course explains how to choose and apply treatments for corrosion, emulsions, foam, scale, wax, asphaltenes, hydrates, hydrogen sulphide and produced water quality. Participants learn to confirm when treatment is needed, select products, check compatibility and stay within environmental limits.
