The "Campbell Gas Course" has been the standard of the industry for forty years. Over 30,000 engineers have attended our G-4 program, considered by many to be the most practical and comprehensive course in the oil and gas industry. Both hand-methods and computer-aided analysis are used to examine sensitivities of technical decisions. To enhance the learning process, about 30 problems will be assigned, reviewed and discussed throughout the course. Problems will be solved individually and in teams.

Production and processing personnel involved with natural gas and associated liquids to acquaint or reacquaint themselves with gas conditioning and processing unit operations. This course is for facilities engineers, process engineers, operations personnel, field supervisors and others that select, design, install, evaluate or operate gas processing plants and related facilities. A broad approach is taken with the topics.

You will Learn:

  • About the selection and evaluation of processes used to dehydrate natural gas, meet hydrocarbon dewpoint specifications and extract NGLs
  • Application of gas engineering and technology in facilities and gas plants
  • Important specifications for gas, NGL and condensate
  • How to apply physical/thermodynamic property correlations and principles to the operation, design and evaluation of gas processing facilities
  • Practical equipment sizing methods for major process equipment
  • To evaluate technical validity of discussions related to gas processing
  • To recognize and develop solutions to example operating problems and control issues in gas processing facilities
