Course details
Natural gas (NG) and gas condensate are some of the fastest growing industries in the recent years. The aim of the course is to provide participants with the fundamentals of the NG processing from the point of view of chemistry and engineering. This course will be provide a comprehensive overview of gas processes including the selection and operation of the processes for compression of gas dehydration, acid gas removal, sulfur recovery, tail gas cleanup, cryogenics and natural gas liquefaction.
Objectives
At the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the different NG compositions and sources
- Become familiarized with the main characterization techniques of the NG
- Develop a solid understanding of plant processing design for NG processing
- Know the basics chemistry/engineering of the NG processing
- Propose a comprehensive processing methodology based on the NG characterization
Participants
This course designed for production and refining engineers, and project managers who are interested in NG and gas processes. Engineers working in oil- related industry and related businesses.
