INTRODUCTION: 

Oil and Gas well outputs may contain a substantial amount of pollutants, chemicals, or minerals that all have the ability to affect production quality, as well as the operation of the facilities. (You need think only of the effect that mercury corrosion attack has on material such as stainless steel at gas wells!) Furthermore, these pollutants also affect product quality, and are therefore a major cause for concern.

This online training course focusses on the measurement (and the quality) of oil, gas and water at oil & gas facilities, which is done by means of making use of specialized Quality Measuring Instruments (QMI). 

This Target online training course will highlight: 

• The implications of quality on measuring instruments
• Measuring principles, applications, and installation requirements
• Sample handling, operation, and maintenance
• Characteristics and handling of instruments related to Gas Chromatograph, Reid Vapor Pressure, Hydrocarbon Dewpoint. Moisture (Water Dewpoint), Watercut, Mercury, H2S, CO2, pH, Conductivity, Salinity, Turbidity, Oxygen, Dissolved Oxygen, Oil in Water and Redox 

Course objectives: 

To get attendees familiar with the measuring principles, application requirements, installation requirements, sample handling, operation and maintenance requirements of the instruments for measuring most important quality performance measures related to Oil & Gas well outputs and surrounding water.
