Crude Oil Treatments - Virtual Learning
Oil wells generally, produce a mixture of hydrocarbon oil, water, gas, and even sand or solid materiel with dissolved minerals usually including a large amount of salt & other gases like hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and solids, including sand from the reservoir, dirt, scale, and corrosion products from the tubing.
Foreign material, such as water and sand must be separated from the oil and gas before they can be sold. This process is known as Crude Oil Treating.
The purpose of Crude Oil treatment is to separate, remove, or transform these various components to make the liquid hydrocarbons (Crude Oil) ready for sales & send to refiners.
This Gulf Rowad training course will provides an overview of all the theories and technologies involved in crude oil treatment, starting with brief about Petroleum Crude Formation, Production, phase separation process, emulsion theory formation, crude oil desalting, stabilization and the mechanism through the technology to destabilize and separate water from oil in addition to crude oil storage and loading facilities.
Due to environmental regulations, the produced water must also be treated. The course will provide a brief of the processes & operational conditions needed to achieve the required specifications for the produced water.
Upon successful completion of this Gulf Rowad training course, participants will gain knowledge & full understanding of crude oil treatment from A to Z (formation till loading to refiners) with extensive focus in Oil Treatment Operation.
This Gulf Rowad training course will feature:
Crude Oil Formation, accumulation & Production
Crude Oil Composition & Characteristics
Phase Separation Process (Two & Three-Phase Separation)
Emulsion Formation & Treatment
Crude Oil Dehydration
Crude Oil Desalting
Crude Oil Stabilization & Sweetening
Crude Oil Storage, Loading & Other Field Facilities

Target Competencies
Organisational Impact
It’s well known that competency of the organization employees determines it’s growth.
- Excellent opportunity to expand the knowledge base of the trained employees which positively will impact on their work
- Employees gain more skills, they tend to immediately apply them to their role
- If employees feel that they growing and learning in their job, they are more likely to stay at their company (more stability)
- It makes a business / or organization attractive to prospective employees
Personal Impact
- The employee will be competent to handle surface facilities equipments operational tasks
- Competent employees will safe time & effort by taking better actions in the right time to solve his operation problems
- The employees will better understand their job which resulted in more satisfaction
- If employees have some weaknesses in some work skills it should be improved
- Training should guarantee better performance for employees
