COURSE OVERVIEW:

This comprehensive course, focusing on Produced Water Treatment, delves deep into the principles, technologies, and operational practices required to treat produced water from oil and gas facilities. Participants will understand the requirements of produced water treatment, including regulatory and environmental drivers, water quality specifications for discharge and reinjection, and the impact of produced water on equipment integrity, safety, and overall asset performance.

The course explains the operation of associated equipment such as separators, skimmers, hydrocyclones, flotation units, filters, and degassing systems, as well as the role of chemicals in oil removal, solids handling, and scaling or corrosion control. Participants will engage in practical exercises and case studies to apply the concepts learned to real world treatment schemes, troubleshoot performance issues, and develop improvement strategies for existing produced water systems.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

1. Describe the role and importance of Produced Water Treatment in oil and gas production, processing, and environmental compliance.
2. Explain the typical composition and properties of produced water and how they influence treatment requirements and equipment selection.
3. Identify and describe the main treatment technologies and associated equipment used in produced water treatment systems.
4. Understand the basic principles of separation, flotation, filtration, and degassing as applied to produced water treatment.
5. Interpret produced water treatment process flow diagrams and identify key process variables and control points.
6. Apply Produced Water Treatment techniques to design checks, operational decisions, and troubleshooting activities.
7. Develop strategies for effective Produced Water Treatment implementation for both overboard discharge and reinjection systems.
8. Recognize common operating problems in produced water treatment systems and propose practical corrective actions.
9. Understand the latest trends and best practices in Produced Water Treatment, including tightening environmental standards and new technology options.
10. Communicate effectively with operations, process, mechanical, and environmental teams about produced water treatment requirements and performance.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

-Process Engineers

-Production and Operations Engineers

-Facilities and Project Engineers involved in water treatment systems

-Operation Supervisors and Control Room Operators

-Mechanical and Maintenance Engineers responsible for treatment equipment

-Environmental and HSE Professionals working with discharge or reinjection compliance

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures and discussion sessions, as well as case studies, will be managed to maximize the amount and quality of information, knowledge, and experience transfer. The course will be intensive but practical and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance learning. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and after the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
