This course has similar content to the combined 3 day course but does not include microbiology. In addition, some of the field examples and descriptions of chemical dosing systems and equipment are omitted. More time will be allocated to the chemistry and the various products that are used.
A wide variety of simple and complex, inorganic and organic chemicals are represented within this industry. Wax inhibitors, asphaltene dispersants, drag reducers, antifoams, hydrate inhibitors, emulsion breakers, scale inhibitors and dissolvers, corrosion inhibitors, scavengers and water injection chemicals are all discussed. Advantages and disadvantages of individual chemicals are explained. Laboratory evaluation procedures, performance and compatibility tests and formulation of chemical products are described. Environmental issues will be covered.
The course is complimented by comprehensive course notes which are available to all attendees.
