This course provides an overview of the main water handling systems typically encountered in upstream (E&P) production operations, both onshore and offshore. The chemistry of the main water related problems of mineral scales, corrosion, bacteria, and oily water will be reviewed both from the theoretical and practical aspects. Produced water treatment equipment and typical water quality specifications will be reviewed as well as water injection and disposal systems. Emphasis will be placed on understanding and resolving operational problems in process equipment.

This course teaches how to listen to the well, perform simple tests on the rig, and make proper decisions unique to each well. During this course participants will learn about: Interpretation of mud logger gas units, Determining pore pressure, On-site hydraulic optimization, Selecting proper bit loading for the fastest and cheapest hole, Interpreting pressure integrity tests; Hole problems (such as, stuck pipe, lost circulation, and ballooning), Borehole stability, Operating guidelines, Drilling fluid properties necessary to maximize drilling performance, Discussion of polymers in drilling fluids, Solids control equipment arrangement to assure best drilled solids removal.

The financial dynamic to successful project delivery lies at the very heart of effective project management. A project is a complex series of interactions between time; people and resources - their allocation and utilization. Project Cost Scheduling highlights and informs the participant of how to manage the project cost function - its dynamics and components - leading to an enhanced understanding and application of techniques that will contribute directly to more efficient project management processes. The course contains a significant element of practical exercise that builds daily, allowing participants to grasp the inter-relationships between cost; project lifecycle and operational activities, thereby imparting clarity to the whole process of successful project delivery.
