COURSES
This course has been designed to provide a holistic view to a wide range of oil and gas production personnel from new entrants to the industry to senior management with no background in chemistry.
This Scale Control course has been designed to teach you: inorganic oilfield scale principles and fundamentals, compound types, and control of oilfield scale.
Production Chemistry courses can be tailored to your specific requirements, delivered in-house, virtually or in modules at our client’s convenience.
NEW SCALE COURSE - 5/6 february 2025
Scale deposition is still a major issue for the energy industry and effective scale management
strategies are essential for the safe and successful operation of oil and gas and geothermal
energy production facilities and sustainable carbon dioxide (CO2) capture, injection and storage.
Delivered by recognised Subject Matter Experts Stephen Heath (Technical Director, PCT),
Professor Eric MacKay (Heriot Watt University) and Dr Khosro Jarrahian (Executive Researcher,
Petronas Global Research and Technology Centre) who have ~80 years’ total experience in
scale control and management, this course will increase your knowledge and technical skill
in scale control for the oil and gas industry and learn how this knowledge can be applied to
the energy transition.

“Production Chemistry: Theory and Practice” – 25th-28th February 2025 and 14th-17th October 2025
Course Overview:
Embark on a comprehensive journey through key production chemistry domains, including asphaltenes, hydrates, waxes, scale, foams, and emulsions.
Led by industry experts, Stephen Heath and Dr Neil Chilcott, this course blends theoretical insights with hands-on experience, equipping you with practical skills to tackle real-world challenges.
Some Key Learning Highlights:
Scale Management: Explore industry-standard techniques for selecting scale inhibitors and gain hands-on experience in conducting compatibility and efficiency tests. Learn to interpret dynamic flow loop test data and understand testing in porous media using KAT’s cutting-edge equipment.
Asphaltenes: Understand the impact of asphaltene precipitation on fluid behaviour and rheological properties through titrations and industry-standard methodologies.
Hydrates: Gain insights into gas hydrates and their implications for production, with demonstrations of KAT’s cutting-edge equipment.
Waxes and Deposition: Delve into the composition of waxes, their role in pipeline performance, and practical sessions using advanced equipment for wax prediction.
Rheology: Explore how wax crystals influence fluid behaviour and rheological properties, with hands-on experience in measuring key parameters.
Foaming and Emulsions: Engage in practical demonstrations of KAT’s foaming rig and assess the impact of anti-foam additives. Gain firsthand experience in preparing oil/water emulsions and evaluating chemical additives for water separation.
