Gas operations: From wellhead to markets
Why Choose this Training Course?
This “Gas operations: From wellhead to markets” training course covers the basic concepts and techniques necessary for an understanding of how gas field production facilities are designed and specified. It includes an overview of gas value chain, from the wellhead to processing facilities and final consumption. It provides a clear understanding of the equipment and processes used in transportation, conditioning, common separation and gas treating systems.
The training course also covers, gas transportation, dehydration, sweetening and gas processing operations. The gathering, separation and final treatment systems for natural gas will be discussed, as well as the concepts for achieving natural gas export quality. Other products such as Natural Gas Liquids, Condensate, Commercial LPG, etc., and the available processes to condition these to meet their respective specifications will be discussed.
