Day 1 :RESERVOIR CONDITIONS, DRILLING TECHNIQUES AND CRUDE QUALITY WHICH IMPACT THE DESIGN OF SURFACE FACILITIES. COLD PRODUCTION PATTERNPCP’S, DILUENT INJECTION, GAS RECOVERY, WELL HEAD PROCESS STRUCTURE
Exercise

Day 2 :
-CLUSTERS AND MAIN PIECES OF EQUIPMENT
Multiphase pumps
Well testing equipment
Equipment monitoring and protection

Exercise
Process conditions in a multiphase pump

Day 3 :
INTRODUCTION TO PROJECT STUDY
Review of the exercise results
Field development in terms of number of wells, clusters, and multiphase pumps
Characteristics of global field production: GOR, water cut, hydraulic load for the extra heavy crude treatment plant, overall gas production

Day 4 :
EXTRA HEAVY CRUDE FIELD TREATMENT FACILITIES
Crude stabilization and dehydration
Formation water treatment
Gas processing facilities
Sand disposal

Day 5 :
REVIEW OF PROJECT STUDY RESULTS
Possibility for an additional project whose results would be reviewed with the students at a later stage:
Calculation of extra heavy crude production based on global field mass/volume balance
Diluted extra heavy crude properties at plant outlet
Treatment plant gas balance
