Gas Conditioning and Processing
Duration: 5 days Description
This programme is a practical and comprehensive course in the oil
and gas industry and reflects the evolving technologies in this broad industry.
Both hand-methods and computer- aided analysis will be 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.
Who should Attend
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, senior operations personnel, field supervisors, and
engineers who select, design, install, evaluate, or operate gas processing
plants and related facilities. A broad approach is taken with the topics.
