    Oil Stabilization

    The stabilization process is a form of partial distillation which sweetens "sour" crude oil (removes the hydrogen sulfide) and reduces vapor pressure, thereby making the crude oil safe for shipment in tankers.  Stabilizers maximize production of valuable hydrocarbon liquids, while making the liquids safe for storage and transport, as well as reduce the atmospheric emissions of volatile hydrocarbons.  Stabilizer plants are used to reduce the volatility of stored crude oil and condensate.

    In this course participants will learn about the stabilization process, the equipment within that system, and how the stabilization system operates.

    Participants will also be exposed to the control parameters in the stabilization process.  They will become familiar with the process variables and chemical composition of the fluids that are involved in the stabilization process.

    This course is mainly targeted to process technicians, process technologists, and laboratory and maintenance personnel.  The course can also be applicable to employees working with equipment and materials purchasing, equipment procurement, job planning, as well as immediate supervisors to the working technicians.

    Participants should have some recent exposure to oil and gas facility terminology.
