oil & gas laboratory management

Introduction

An oil and gas production laboratory is vital to maintaining control of field operations. Managers, technicians, chemists, and other professionals must have a comprehensive understanding of a field laboratory's abilities and limitations so that they can better use the laboratory and its staff to control and optimize the oilfield process.

Including laboratory management training, a laboratory management certificate program, or laboratory management certification can empower these individuals with the necessary laboratory manager skills to enhance their effectiveness in this role.

Objectives

    At the end of this oil and gas laboratory operations management conference, the participants will be able to:

    • Understand the function, importance, and operation of oil and gas laboratories.
    • Optimize the day-to-day operation of oil and gas laboratory operations.
    • Gain insight into why Quality Management is essential within Oil and Gas Laboratories and how a laboratory management certificate can be beneficial.
    • Comprehend how the results obtained from the laboratory can enhance the operation of the processing system and contribute to the integrity of plant and equipment.
    • Understand process chemicals' function and their effective utilization.
    • Understand metering systems operation and how laboratory data contribute to accurate metering and tanker loading (custody transfer).
    • Efficiently run a laboratory in the context of petroleum laboratories.
    • Produce accurate and reliable results.
    • Calculate chemical injection rates.

Training Methodology

This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations. The online course is conducted online using MS-Teams/ClickMeeting.
