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.
Course Topics
* Introduction to scale types
* Mechanisms of formation and factors influencing deposition
* Scale prediction,
* Scale mitigation techniques
* Scale inhibitor and dissolver chemistry and modes of operation
* Laboratory techniques for scale inhibitor testing and selection
* Scale inhibitor deployment techniques
* Scale squeeze treatment design and optimisation
* Scale removal and treatment design
* Scale management and monitoring, scale control in EOR, geothermal energy and CCUS
Who should attend?
- Reservoir, production and process engineers
- Production technologists
- Laboratory technicians and chemists
- Account managers
- Production chemists
- Geochemists and engineers working in Geothermal and CCUS
VIRTUAL PRODUCTION CHEMISTRY COURSE - STARTING 19TH NOVEMBER 2024
Production Chemistry is central for effective and safe operation of oil and gas production facilities. If you wish to increase your knowledge and technical skills in production chemistry and how it is applied to maintain integrity and maximise production, PCT’s next on-line modular production chemistry course begins on 19th November.
The course will consist of nine recently updated modules covering a range of production chemistry integrity, flow assurance and production enhancement subjects.
In addition, to keep up with energy transition an extra module has been added which covers the Impact of Net Zero on Production Chemistry Integrity and this will also encompass Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) not covered in the previous modules.
The course will be delivered mainly by PCT’s Stephen Heath, however will also feature guest speakers, the first of which will be Eugenia Marinou of Nikita Ltd who will present the module: Integrity Part 4 – Bacteria and Microorganism Control and Management in Oilfield Operations
The Production Chemistry course also offers enhanced flexibility as each module will be presented on-line twice a week at different times to give more global coverage and provide more opportunities to attend. There will also be an option to attend for individual modules, blocks of four selected modules or for the whole course depending upon individual requirements.
