Course Overview
Acquiring accurate production data for effective monitoring and allocation has always been a challenge to efficient well, reservoir and facilities management in the oil and gas industry. Oil and Gas Hydrocarbon Accounting principally involves; allocation of volumes, storage of data, deferment administration and data reporting. In almost all assets globally, metering process has always been a challenge and this course is designed to address and manage such limitations. There are several factors that influence metering but the major ones are the linearity and the repeatability. This course will equally highlight some of these challenges with mitigation and come up with how it fits into the overall HCA process in order to facilitate improved definition, selection, design, operation and troubleshooting of production numbers or data.
Training and retraining of domain experts have been identified as crucial in fully understanding the concept and process of Hydrocarbon Accounting and Metering. Hence, this course will elicit the fundamentals of Hydrocarbon Accounting and Metering across assets, while also highlighting the common challenges encountered during this process and how to mitigate them in future HCA processes.
Course Objectives:
By the end of this Course, participants will be able to:
Target Audience:

How will this Training Course be Presented?
This HCA training course is a hands-on, stimulating learning experience. The training course will be highly interactive, with opportunities to advance your opinions and ideas. Participation is encouraged in a supportive environment.
To ensure the concepts introduced during the training course are understood, they will be reinforced through a mix of learning methods, including PowerPoint slides and videos. This will be augmented by case studies and facilitated discussions, to engage the delegates and to encourage the exchange of ideas.
The training course will be reinforced with the use of PC’s with simulations to estimate emission losses and calculations using Microsoft Excel® to practice tank gauging calculations, blending to meet specification and for off spec product corrections. Participants should bring their own laptop loaded with Microsoft Excel® for simulation exercises.
Course Outlines
General Principles of Hydrocarbon Accounting
Hydrocarbon Accounting Workflow: Case study
Introduction to Metering Systems
Deferment Administration
