    This course develops practical skills to design and operate oil & gas gathering systems and pipelines from wellhead to separation, with a strong focus on pressure-drop analysis, flow regimes, and network configuration. Participants review single- and two-phase flow fundamentals, apply correlations for horizontal pipelines, and examine how flow patterns affect issues like corrosion. Using Schlumberger’s PIPESIM, they build and calibrate models (black-oil or compositional), compare results to hand calculations, run sensitivities, size tiebacks/risers, and solve looped gas-gathering networks under realistic boundary conditions. The program also covers manifold location studies and cost trade-offs, erosion-velocity criteria, and GIS integration to route lines over terrain and extract elevation profiles. Hands-on workshops culminate in simulating crude/gas pipelines and oil-gathering systems, including the impact of adding new wells on backpressure and field deliverability. Designed for surface facilities and production operations engineers seeking a structured, model-driven approach to gathering-system design and troubleshooting.
