The Petroleum Processing Technology Series

The series consists of 10 courses:

1. Oil and Gas Separation
2. Gas Dehydration
3. Petroleum Gas Compression
4. Natural Gas Liquids Recovery
5. Oil Pumping and Metering
6. Injection Water Treatment
7. Produced Water Treatment
8. Gas Flow Measurement
9. Process Flow & P&ID’s
10. Oil Treatment (Dehydration)

These stand-alone courses will enable an individual to select those learning materials that suit their own particular requirements. Courses can be studied at the candidates own pace and in any order.

The study time needed will vary from one course to another, and from one individual to another. It is likely to be in the range 20 - 40 hours for each course. Each course will consist of one or more Workbooks, and a "Guide to Open Learning".

No commitment to enrolling for the complete Petroleum Processing Technology Series is required at any time
although each candidate must register for each course. Courses are non-transferrable and can only be assigned to one candidate.

Each course may be assessed by examination and an individual certificate endorsed by City and Guilds awarded to successful candidates. Each exam which is passed successfully will contribute to one Certificate of Unit Credit towards The Certificate in Petroleum Processing Technology. The Certificate will be awarded after all 10 Certificates of Unit Credit have been accumulated.

Aim of the Series

The aim of this Petroleum Processing Technology series is to help anyone with an interest in the oil industry, achieve a broad understanding of:

1. The operational techniques of petroleum processing.
2. The function and construction of a representative selection of plant and equipment used in the processing of petroleum reservoir fluids.

The series will be of value to

• More experienced operations staff who wish to see their experience reflected in a meaningful qualification, or who wishes to refresh their understanding of petroleum processing technology.
• Managers and supervisors of oil, service and manufacturing companies who need to build on their background knowledge of the subject.
• New technical or engineering graduates, as part of their induction program.
• Administrative staff that require an introduction to the technical background, and a key to the technical language.
• The industry, as underpinning knowledge towards achieving standards of competence.

Course Materials

Consist of one, or more, spirally bound workbook containing:
