This 6 hour course provides a comprehensive review of basic petroleum production chemistry, emphasizing its critical role in oil and gas manufacturing and delivery. Students will explore how chemical management strategies optimize hydrocarbon recovery, maintain asset integrity, and improve operational efficiency. The course covers fluid properties, production system behavior, and key chemistry-related challenges that can impact productivity and safety.

Through case study and real-world applications, participants will gain insight into the mechanisms of corrosion, scaling, emulsion stabilization and hydrate formation. Practical approaches to diagnosing and mitigating production problems using chemical solutions will also be discussed.
