Overview of Gas Processing - Technical - G-2
This course is designed for a broad audience. It is participative and interactive, and utilizes fundamental technical exercises and terminology to communicate key learning points.
G-2 is a versatile overview of the gas conditioning and processing industry based on highly condensed material from Campbell's G-4 and G-6 courses. As a wide ranging overview, it is suitable for "interested parties" more so than direct practitioners, such as geologists, reservoir engineers, line managers, sales and business development staff, related specialists such as environmental staff, operational staff, shift foremen, or those new to the industry such as entry-level engineers, as well as anyone interested in a general, technically oriented overview of the gas processing industry.
You will Learn:
- Overview of world energy trends, natural gas, and the role of gas processing and conditioning
- Natural gas sources, makeup, properties, specifications, and related oil and gas terminology
- How gas is transported and sold
- Field operations that support gas processing
- Options for various basic gas conditioning and processing steps: treating, dehydration, liquid extraction, and product fractionation and treating
- Key commercial and contract issues in liquids extraction
- Principles of gas measurement and common measurement devices
- Markets and uses for NGL, LPG, ethane, propane and butane
- Key pieces of equipment used in natural gas production and processing facilities
- Overview of related specialty processes such as LNG, nitrogen rejection and helium recovery, and sulfur recovery and acid gas reinjection.
