welcome to contend ou training solutions fundamentals of steam assisted gravity
drainage training course for bitumen processing
contendo also offers fundamentals of SAGD courses covering SAGD well pads
produced water de-oiling and water treatment
in this course we discuss
safety points relating to protection of personnel equipment and the environment
how gas vapors are removed and processed for use as fuel gas so that the bitumen
meets sales oil specifications for vapor pressure how water and water vapors are
removed so that the bitumen meets sales oil specifications for water content and
how Diluent is added so that the bitumen meets sales oil specifications
for API gravity and viscosity our unique presentation of learning material
provides something for all types of students whether they're strong suits
are listening reading or watching
we combine narrated discussions with
animations and other visuals to clarify each concept presented
straightforward learning objectives are presented at the beginning of each chapter
while review sections reinforce what we have discussed
chapters include printable worksheets for students to complete as they learn and individual
tests that can be attempted after viewing each chapter
the steam assisted gravity drainage process is a leading in-situ bitumen recovery technique we
discuss all aspects of bitumen processing in a SAGD facility from
recovered emulsions to sales oil
we describe the technologies and processes
used to safely produce saleable oil from reserves of bitumen
recovered from the oil sands
you will follow the bitumen as it flows through a
model SAGD central processing facility and learn how it is processed from a
high pressure mixed emulsion of bitumen water and the hydrocarbon gas to
oil meeting all sails oil specifications
we use a combination of narrated
animations text and other visuals to demonstrate how a process operates
we start with Diluent with heating and injection into the produced emulsion for
density adjustment of the bitumen
we follow the produced emulsion through the
bitumen Inlet section of a SAGD central processing facility where bulk
separation of oil and water occurs in a free water knockout
the resulting produced emulsion diluent mixture then has most of the remaining
water removed in an electrostatic treater to produce dehydrated dilbit
the dilbit flows through the sales oil stabilisation system gas boot where it
is reduced in pressure to bring it to sales specification
the separated hydrocarbon vapors are processed through the gas handling section of the
stabilization system to produce fuel gas and hydrocarbon condensate
the sales oil is then stored until it can be transferred to the sales pipeline
we also follow the separation and recovery of produced gas from the produced gas
separator as it is processed for use as fuel gas in steam generation
oily produced water and hydrocarbon liquids are removed and directed to their
respective processed trains the produced gas joins other gas streams in the mixed
fuel gas separator for liquid removal before being burned in the steam
generators accumulated unbroken emulsions called rag layers are removed
from separation vessels and tanks and processed through the flash treater to
vaporize any remaining water from the Dilbit so that it can rejoin the
dehydrated dilbit flowing to the stabilization section
hydrocarbon vapors from the flash treater are processed through the flash gas system to produce
fuel gas and hydrocarbon condensate
a vapor recovery unit collects and
processes various usable gas streams to produce fuel gas and hydrocarbon condensate
we include appropriate pressure safety valves throughout the
entire process and include a gas flare system to accept
and burn relief vapours and purge gases
detailed descriptions of process control systems show how certain
parameters up or down stream can affect local conditions
control logic set points and commands explain how out of range process conditions can be dealt
with and comprehensive shutdown responses are demonstrated to show the
relationships between various system components
here we show a vibration
transmitter on the VRU compressor and how a high vibration will alarm tripping
the compressor motor off to avoid damage and simultaneously closing a gas recycle
valve the PV and opening a compressor ring water bypass valve the XV
as you progress through the course you will see various warnings and safety points
associated with the topic being discussed
these can be represented as safety points to denote specific safety hazards
and/or equipment used to mitigate the hazards
cautions to bring attention to
possible hazards or reminders to review material safety data sheets
we use various graphs and charts to explain hazards such as hydrogen sulfide concentrations
