INTRODUCTION

An Oil and Gas production laboratory is a vital component in maintaining control of field operations. It is important that managers; technicians; chemists and others have a good understanding of the abilities and limitations of a field laboratory so that they can better use the laboratory and its staff to control and optimise the oilfield process.

A production laboratory contributes to the operation in the following ways:
- Measurement and reporting of vital data
- Compliance with legislative criteria
- Provides early warning of potential plant problems
- Control and optimisation of the injection of oilfield chemicals
- First line analysis and identification of unknown substances / deposits
- Determination of product quality and fiscal measurements
This programme will explain to delegates:
- What happens within an oil and gas field laboratory and why this is important to a successful oilfield operation
- How to efficiently run such a laboratory
- How to produce accurate and reliable results
- How the laboratory contributes to the safe and efficient operation of plant and equipment
- How to calculate chemical injection rates
- Fiscal responsibilities during custody transfer
- Laboratory Quality Management
- How to use the laboratory for problem solving

PROGRAMME OBJECTIVES

To better understand the function, importance and operation of oil and gas laboratories
To understand how to optimise the day to day operation of the oil and gas laboratory
To gain an insight into how Quality Management is important within and Oil and Gas Laboratory
To understand how the results obtained from the laboratory can enhance the operation of the process system and contribute to the integrity of plant and equipment
To understand how process chemicals function and how to utilise them effectively
To understand how metering systems operate and how laboratory data contributes to accurate metering and tanker loading (custody transfer).

TRAINING METHODOLOGY

This is carried out by a series of lectures supported by comprehensive notes; delegates are encouraged to ask questions and participate in the sessions leading to an informal learning environment

PROGRAMME SUMMARY

This programme covers the essential aspects of the day-to-day operation of oil and gas laboratories, how the laboratory is used as a tool to facilitate optimisation of the process plant, control of environmental emissions, plant and equipment integrity and for product quality control.
