Natural Gas Treatment Processes
This 2-day course is designed to provide comprehensive coverage of the
processes used for the treatment and conditioning of natural gas streams
to allow them to be delivered, via long distance pipelines, to end users
as either intermediate or sales products.
The course also covers the handling of the treatment by-products by methods of recovery or disposal.
In the context of this course the term "Natural Gas" is used to describe three types of hydrocarbon vapour streams; those which originate from reservoirs where only gas can be economically recovered; those which are the resultant vapour phase of the flash separation of well fluids from gas/condensate reservoirs; or those which result from the flash separation of well fluids from oil reservoirs.
The subject matter is wide ranging and complex, but by the use of case study workshops, video and dynamic simulation the course aims to provide delegates with a good working knowledge of the gas processing industry.
Suitable For: Persons of all engineering disciplines who have little or no previous experience of gas processing but due to changes in work scope require a good working knowledge of the industry.
Process personnel who may be transferring from some other sector of the oil industry into the primary production area will find the course fulfills their needs for an indepth overview. The course will also appeal to operations personnel of all disciplines who require to broaden their knowledge of the gas processing industry.
Key Topics Covered:
- Natural Gas Characteristics
- Gas Treatment Processes
- Gas Sweetening
- Acid Gas Disposal
- Gas Dehydration
- Gas Conditioning Processes
- Gas Transmission by Pipeline
- NGL Recovery
