Re-Injection of Water Formation and Water Surface Treatment Technologies and Field Practices Training Course

This course is aimed at creating an understanding of WATER FORMATION RE-INJECTION AND WATER TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL. The course is designed to build up knowledge in the participant to understand the WATER RE-INJECTION process facilities design and Water treatment and disposal. The course studies in depth and in accordance to classic and new technology. Also the effect of Separation pressure is introduced using the engineering system concept of nodal analysis, and by using the classic flash calculations method. The calculations for pump specifications in the petroleum industry is treated in a formal and practical way.

Engineers, R&D personnel and managers from upstream oil and gas Industry. Project Managers and multi-discipline engineering personnel from Contractor companies. Petroleum Engineers recently transfer to production areas, All non-petroleum engineers working as petroleum Engineers in the oil and gas industry. All personnel in refinery and petrochemical industry. Petroleum Engineer Trainees. Production Technicians working in the oil and gas industry, and Reservoir engineers without experience in the production area.
