    This course builds a practical understanding of petroleum-fluid fundamentals and phase behavior as applied to production systems. Starting from petroleum chemistry, fluid components, plus-fraction handling, and phase-envelope construction, participants progress through crude-oil and formation-water properties (methods for GOR, density, flash/differential separation, and formation-volume factors), natural-gas fundamentals (composition/classification, ideal vs. real behavior, water content effects, C3+ and heating value), and transport properties (oil/gas/water/emulsion viscosities, interfacial and surface tension, lab and field testing). The program culminates in vapor–liquid equilibrium practice—equilibrium ratios (K-values), material balances, and bubble/dew-point determinations—reinforced by simulation exercises and a final evaluation. Designed for process, surface-facilities, project, and production-operations engineers with basic knowledge of production facilities.

    Process Engineers,  Production Surface Facilities Engineers, Project Engineers, and Production Operation Engineers.

    A basic knowledge of production facilities system and operations.
