    Production Chemistry

    The goal of this course is to allow the participants to be familiarized with the chemical used in the upstream oil and gas production system. Chemical has been used in Oil and gas industry to assure the flow in the production system which requires several chemicals to maintain production. The course includes the methods of selection of chemical for corrosion, emulsion, foam, inorganic scale, wax, asphaltenes and hydrates

    Upon completion of the course the participant will be able to

    • Recognize the corrosion conditions and monitoring corrosion rates
    • Select and applying the corrosion inhibitor
    • Predict and treating emulsion
