Course Overview

Natural Gas Industry began in the early 1900 in the United States, and it is still evolving. Natural Gas is high-quality fuel and chemical feedstock; it plays a vital role in the industrial world and has become a necessary export for many countries. The physical characteristics of natural gas have very much influenced the natural gas industry development.

This Gas Processing & Conditioning training covers major technical aspects of gas processing and conditioning. It includes a complete and up-to-date overview of gas conditioning and processing technology. It provides a clear understanding of the equipment and processes used in common separation and gas treating systems. The training seminar will also cover gas dehydration, sweetening and gas processing operations, the integration between the individual processing operations, gathering, separation, and final treatment systems for natural gas, and the concepts of export quality natural gas, field and fiscal measurements error. All of this will increase the personnel’s effectiveness, reduce operation costs, and optimise the performance of gas processing and conditioning.

Learning Objectives

By the end of the Gas Processing and Conditioning training seminar, participants will learn to:

Understand Gas Dehydration and Processing, Absorption, Refrigeration and Fractionation, Cryogenics and LNG Production.
Enhance your knowledge in Normal Operating Conditions of the Plant
Have a good background in Oil and Gas Processing and be able to understand the Scope of LNG (NGL) Gas Processing
Acquire an in-depth understanding of Gas Compression, Natural Gas, Slug Catcher and NGL recovery
Define Abnormal Conditions Such as High Liquid Level, Heat loss, Tanks getting dry, Foams, Plugged outlets
Learn about Instrumentation, Measurement and Control of Natural Gas and Gas Liquids in addition to Gas Facility Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Handle abnormal conditions such as loss of power, loss of control, loss of air, shortage of manpower, foam and hydrate formation, Troubleshoot the problems
Emphasise the importance of water content in the gas field operations and be able to review & improve gas treatment

Target Audience

This Gas Processing & Conditioning training seminar is suitable for a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

Process Engineers along with the Petroleum and Production engineers

Facilities and process engineers
Geologists and reservoir engineers
Other Company Staff Involved in Gas Treatment and Processing
Process Engineers who are new to the profession
Managers and government officials and others involved with supervising gas processing operations
Managers involved in the planning and development of new gas processing facilities or modifying existing facilities

Training Methodology

This training seminar will utilise a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. It will be presented using a combination of interactive presentations, case studies, participant activities, and exercises to maximize the learning experience’s impact. Delegates will have ample time to consider the ideas and apply the skills discussed.

Pre & Post course assessments will be used to measure the effectiveness of this training.
