Online Course: Fundamentals of Single-Phase Fluid Flow
The ability to estimate or model fluid flow is one of the critical skills of the oil patch. This introductory course is designed primarily with an eye towards preparing engineers to work effectively in initial startup planning. An understanding of flow phenomena is crucial in startup planning where unusual conditions exist and where unusual behavior needs to be understood. This online course will cover: Single-phase flow fundamentals, application examples in oil and gas industry, how to perform calculations, and modeling best practices.
Why Attend
Most of the engineering day-to-day tasks in oil and gas industry are related to fluid flow, understanding of basic concepts is crucial for successful operations and troubleshooting.
