Oilfield Chemistry Structured to the Non-Chemist Course
This course, Oilfield Chemistry Structured to the Non-Chemist, offers a comprehensive introduction to the synthetic chemicals commonly used in oilfield completions, production, and enhanced oil recovery (EOR). Attendees will gain foundational knowledge on the chemistry involved, including brine chemistry, friction reducers, biocides, clay stabilizers, and scale inhibitors. Emphasis is placed on understanding the impact of chemistry on well performance, fluid behavior, and formation compatibility. The course also covers practical insights into polymer types, friction reducer functionality, and the importance of chemistry choices in real-world oilfield scenarios. By course completion, participants will be equipped to make informed decisions regarding completion chemistry beyond mere trade names.Read more...
