Surface Production Operations
This course gives a broad overview of the treating and processing equipment found in oilfield surface facilities, explaining both what each item does and how it works internally. A central aim is better communication between disciplines and between field and office staff, which supports efficiency and lower costs. Step-by-step exercises are worked through together in class.
