Wax Management Wax Management2-day

COURSE OVERVIEW:

Our 2-day Wax Management training course is designed to provide a detailed understanding on how to effectively manage wax-related challenges. It covers the spectrum of the theory behind wax deposition through to the practicalities of developing an optimal control strategy based on prevention, inhibition and remediation, all underpinned by surveillance.

The content of this course is based on the latest developments in the area of flow assurance and wax management coupled with practical approaches for businesses to take action. The course is interactive and allows participants to fully engage with the material and leave with ideas to take back to the places of work.

The course is delivered in 6 modules some of which involve case studies and examples where delegates are allowed to collaborate and implement the course teachings with guidance from our leading industry experts.
