Crude Oil Fundamentals

Level: Skill | Type: Classroom | Discipline: General

This course provides a practical introduction to key surface-production processes and how they affect crude quality and deliverability. Topics include fluid characterization and phase behavior, multiphase flow in wells and pipelines, crude oil treatment (stabilization, separation, dehydration, and desalting), associated-gas treatment (dehydration, sweetening, and recovery), and safeguarding considerations across the production system. Hands-on exercises use industry-standard software tools to reinforce concepts and build confidence in basic design and troubleshooting.
