By - Parthiban AK
Students should have a strong foundation in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and basic mechanical design. Knowledge of engineering drawing, manufacturing processes, and industrial safety practices is recommended. Familiarity with pumps, compressors, and process equipment will help students understand real-world production systems. Basic skills in interpreting technical diagrams, process flow charts, and equipment layouts are essential. Students should be comfortable with problem solving, teamwork, and the use of basic engineering tools or simulation software. This preparation ensures learners can understand equipment operation, maintenance strategies, troubleshooting methods, and safety practices used in modern oil and gas production facilities.
This course introduces the design, operation, and maintenance of equipment used in oil and gas production and processing. Students study separators, compressors, pumps, drilling rigs, wellhead systems, heat exchangers, and refining machinery. The course highlights safety protocols, environmental considerations, and industry standards required for reliable and sustainable operations. Through real-world case studies, students explore equipment selection, performance monitoring, preventive maintenance, and troubleshooting techniques to reduce downtime and improve efficiency. The course also explains how processing equipment supports hydrocarbon transportation and energy production, preparing students to analyse production challenges and improve operational performance in oil and gas facilities.
After completing the course, students will be able to explain the functions of key oil and gas production equipment and apply industry safety standards in equipment operation and maintenance. They will analyse drilling rigs, wellhead systems, and refining machinery for efficient hydrocarbon extraction and processing. Students will troubleshoot common equipment problems, evaluate performance using best maintenance practices, and implement optimization strategies to improve productivity and reliability. They will understand the role of heat exchangers and processing equipment in hydrocarbon transportation and demonstrate the ability to ensure compliance with safety, environmental regulations, and sustainable production practices in oil and gas operations.
