Part 1: Main description and stakes of O&G production

Various context of O&G production project

• General Flow diagram and stakes of an oil dominated project
• General Flow diagram and stakes of a gas dominated project

Part 2: Produced fluids characterization

Description of  the properties of the various fluids that will be produced in the production systems during the life of the project

• PVT analysis for oil and gas
• Composition of reservoir Oil, Gas and Water
• Fluids properties in reservoir and surface conditions
• Multiphase equilibrium from reservoir to surface facilities
• The sale products quality (value)

Part 3: Reservoir and well production performance

Identification of the mechanisms of the reservoir and the wells production (subsurface part) and their performances during the life of Oil & Gas projects.

Engineering phase to optimize the hydrocarbon recovery from the subsurface during the production life of the project.

• Oil and Gas recovery strategies and reservoir performances
• Evolution of the production properties during life of project: impacts of production profiles
• Effects of the multiphase flow
• Wells and reservoir performances monitoring, interventions during production

Part 4: Flow assurance concerns

During this chapter we will identify the possible anomalies and situations that limit or stop the production flow through the production system

 Design during the project engineering phase adapted to avoid (or prevent) Flow Assurance issues during the production life of the project.

• Flow assurance in case of oil production and case of gas production
• Analysis of the possible flow operational problems due to Fluid quality and Production facilities architectures
• Remediations actions in case of operational Flow Assurance issues

Part 5: Processing design and technologies-Utilities-Export

Description of the main production facilities technology implemented for the production project.

• We will also see how various part of the production system are designed during the project engineering phase.
• Production Gathering network
• Oil, Gas, water treatments (processing) facilities
• Export facilities of the treated products to the market

Part 6: Control systems, HSE, Energy Efficiency and Carbon footprint management 

Description of the main management of the HSE issues and risks related to production facilities

• Main systems to prevent, avoid and control possible HSE incidents into the production dangerous area.
• Environmental regulations
• Project Energy efficiency and Carbon footprint optimization

Part 7: Operating philosophy- Production Architectures Field Operation management 

Description of the Operating philosophy and principle of a production project as well as the corresponding facilities architecture.

Description of the Field Operation team organization and main responsibilities, as well as the management of the main production monitoring, works and modification projects.
