Advanced Field Chemical Trials
Course Description
Field chemical trials are an essential aspect of the chemical and process industries, allowing for the evaluation and optimization of chemical products, processes, and applications in real-world operational environments. The advanced course in field chemical trials builds upon the fundamental principles and practices covered in the introductory course, delving deeper into the complexities and challenges associated with conducting non-routine, mission-critical, and high-stakes field trials.

This course is designed for professionals involved in the selection, testing, and application of production chemicals in upstream oil and gas operations:

    • Production & Operations Engineers
    • Chemical Specialists & Chemists
    • Flow Assurance Engineers
    • Field Technicians & Supervisors
    • Asset Integrity & Corrosion Engineers
    • Research & Development (R&D) Professionals
    • Well & Reservoir Engineers
    • Service Company Representatives

A highly interactive combination of lectures and discussion sessions as well ascase studies will be managed to maximize the amount and quality ofinformation, knowledge, and experience transfer.

The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivatingeverybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged toraise more of their questions and to share developing the right answers using their analysis and experience.

Course material through PowerPoint equipped with necessary animation,learning videos, and general discussions will be provided.
