Oil Production
and Processing Facilities

The Oil Production and Processing Facilities Training Course provides a comprehensive understanding of how hydrocarbons move from the reservoir to the export terminal through modern production and processing systems. This training course explains how oil, gas, and water are produced, separated, treated, and prepared for transportation while maintaining operational efficiency, safety, and product quality. Participants gain a structured view of upstream surface facilities and their critical role in ensuring stable production and reliable export operations.

Oil and gas production facilities represent the essential link between the subsurface reservoir and downstream transportation and refining systems. Understanding the behavior of production fluids, the function of separation and treating systems, and the operational constraints within facilities enables professionals to make better technical and operational decisions. This training course highlights how production performance, facility design, and reservoir conditions interact to influence field productivity and reliability.

Through practical explanations and industry terminology, this oil production training course explores the entire production workflow—from wellhead operations to separation, crude oil treatment, gas handling, and hydrocarbon measurement. Participants will gain practical insights into facility fundamentals, system integration, and how production facilities support safe, efficient, and commercially viable upstream operations.

This training course will feature:

• Overview of oil production systems and surface facilities
• Separation systems and produced water handling fundamentals
• Crude oil treating, desalting, and stabilization concepts
• Gas handling systems, compression, and basic processing principles
• Oil measurement techniques and hydrocarbon allocation fundamentals

This Oil Production and Processing Facilities Training Course aims to build a clear understanding of how upstream production facilities operate and how they influence operational efficiency, safety, and production performance. Participants will explore the key systems involved in handling reservoir fluids and preparing hydrocarbons for export while gaining practical insight into production workflows and facility integration.

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the role of oil production facilities and surface processing systems in upstream oil and gas operations
• Explain how reservoir fluids are produced, transported, and handled within surface production facilities
• Describe the principles of oil, gas, and water separation used in production systems
