From Wellhead to Refinery: Midstream Oil and Gas Processing

About this Course

The course on \"Midstream Oil & Gas Processing\" provides a comprehensive understanding of the various processes involved in the midstream Oil & Gas operations such as transportation, separation, stage separation and treatment of recovered oil and gas, as well as the storage of hydrocarbons. This course starts with exploring the fundamentals of transportation and gathering stations, including pipeline specifications, flow dynamics, measurement techniques and challenges associated with heavy oil transportation. It explores separation systems starting from the principles and equipment used in separating oil and gas in production facilities. This includes surface production/separation facilities, equilibrium relations, test separators, group separators and the design theories of two-phase and three-phase separation systems. It covers stage separation, highlighting its applicability and advantages in optimizing production. Additionally, 3-phase separation systems are discussed, including types of equipment, selection considerations, operating problems and sizing of separators. Furthermore, it gives insights into the treatment of recovered oil, focusing on crude oil treating systems, heat transfer equipment, electrostatic heater treaters, oil dehydrators, emulsion treating, demulsification, oil desalting, crude stabilization and produced water treatment methods. The module concludes by addressing the storage and vapor recovery of hydrocarbons, including onshore and offshore storage facilities, principles of vapor recovery and considerations for safe storage practices. Target learners: Students pursuing Diploma / UG / PG Programs in Chemical/ Petroleum/ Oil and Gas Engineering. Faculties / Working Professionals in the above domain & other aspiring learners Prerequisite: Basic Chemical/ Petroleum/ Oil and Gas Engineering
