    This course is the Remote Instructor Lead Series version of the classroom course delivery. 

    This course will provide participants with the fundamental and principles of production fluid behavior, conditioning, and processing from the wellhead to custody transfer. The participants will learn oilfield production handling at the surface, the treatment equipment, and the processes.

    Natural gas and oil physics characteristics, gathering system, separation, treatment, pigging, transportation, measurements, rotating equipment, vessel and piping design, and operations will all be covered to enhance operational efficiencies.

    Participants will learn how to design and operate the surface facilities production equipment and processes through daily exercises.

    The course is divided in 10 sessions of 4 hours each session.
