Course Description

Course Outline

Steam Distribution & Metering 1-day Tutorial

Date TBD

University of Phoenix*

4900 California Ave, Tower A

Bakersfield, CA 93309

$695 per Student - Includes Steam Distribution & Metering book, lunch and refreshments during class.

This one-day professional short course 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.

Course Outline

Steam Distribution & Metering 3-day Workshop - Software Included!

TBD

Bakersfield, CA

$1,895 per Student - Includes SteamTools software, analysis workbook, lunch and refreshments during class.

A companion to our 1-day Tutorial, 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 thirty 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 Chevrons 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.
