Steam Distribution & Metering 1-day Tutorial
February 23, 2010
Four Points Sheraton
Bakersfield, CA
$495
per Student
This one-day professional short course offered covers the basic concepts of steam generation, two-phase steam
properties, and flow of steam through surface lines, pipe tees and
control valves. It also includes a comprehensive, up-to-date review of
steam flow splitting, rate control and metering devices used in the
petroleum industry. Guidelines are presented for selecting the
appropriate methods and devices for improving steam distribution and
designing a cost effective monitoring program.
This course is designed for facility, reservoir, and
production engineers currently responsible for the design, implementation
and management of steamflood or cyclic steam stimulation projects.
However, the contents of this course are also beneficial for field
supervisors responsible for steam plant operation and other technical
personnel involved in the monitoring and evaluation of steamflood or
cyclic steam stimulation projects.

Production Gauging Principals & Methods 1-day Tutorial
February 24, 2010
Four Points Sheraton
Bakersfield, CA
$495
per Student
This one-day professional short course covers basic well gauging principles and methods used to monitor
heavy oil production from steamflood or cyclic steam projects. A
comprehensive review of AWT fundamentals, including phase separation
efficiency, water cut measurement, flow rate measurement, and assessment
of gauging accuracy is presented along with guidelines for establishing
the appropriate gauging frequency and duration for improved monitoring
of steamflood and cyclic steam producers.
This course
is designed for facility, production and reservoir engineers currently
responsible for the design, implementation, operation and management of
steamflood or cyclic steam projects. However, the contents of this course
will also benefit other technical personnel involved in the operation and
management of steamflood or cyclic steam producers. |

Subsurface Heat Management 3-day Workshop
- Software Included!
March 9-11, 2010
Bakersfield, CA
$1,695 per Student
This three-day workshop provides
a comprehensive review of steamflooding and cyclic steam processes, well completions and
subsurface equipment, and reservoir heat management principles. This
course also includes hands-on training in the use of ISG's
ResHeat software to analyze
data and evaluate subsurface heat management efficiency. Emphasis
is given to practical methods and techniques that have been proven to be
effective in improving the economic performance of actual steamflood and
cyclic steam stimulation projects.
This course is intended for petroleum
engineers, geologists, technical assistants and project team members that
would like practical experience diagnosing and optimizing the performance
of steamflood and cyclic steam projects.

Steam Distribution & Metering 3-day Workshop
- Software Included!
April 12-14, 2010
Bakersfield, CA
$1,695 per Student
This three-day workshop was developed for
engineers,
technical assistants, field operators and project team members that
would like practical experience diagnosing and optimizing the
performance of steam distribution systems.
This course provides
detailed guidelines for developing a surface steam monitoring program
and hands-on training in the use of our SteamTools software to analyze
data and optimize steam distribution performance.
Upon completion of this course, participants will know how to: 1)
develop a steam measurement program to diagnose system performance, 2)
analyze measurement uncertainty and determine its impact on system
evaluation and decision making, and 3) clearly identify root causes of
poor system performance, evaluate possible corrective methods and
determine the most cost-effective solutions. This course is designed to
solve problems relevant to the workplace, so participants are encouraged
to bring actual field problems to analyze in class.

Instructor
Ms. Suzanne Castrup has over twenty-five years of
experience in thermally enhanced oil recovery and is currently Vice
President of Integrated Sciences Group. Prior to joining
Integrated Sciences Group, Ms. Castrup was Technical Advisor for Thermally
Enhanced Oil Recovery in Chevron’s Western Basins Group providing expert
consultation on all aspects of steamflood and cyclic steam project design,
implementation and evaluation. She was also a Production/Reservoir
Engineer, managing both cyclic steam stimulation and steamflood projects
in several heavy oil properties in the Cymric and Midway Sunset Fields.
An expert in
heat management, Ms. Castrup spent eleven years as a Research Engineer at
Chevron Oil Field Research Company conducting laboratory and field
experiments to better understand surface and subsurface heat management
processes. She has published numerous technical papers and holds
several patents relating to heavy oil recovery. She
is a recipient of the 2006 SPE Western Region Award and the
2007 SPE International Award for distinguished contributions to petroleum
engineering projects, facilities and construction. Click
