Posted by: admin_iskillsae

COURSE OVERVIEW

This training course covers the basic concepts and techniques necessary to design, specify, and manage gas field production facilities. It includes a complete and up-to-date overview of gas conditioning and processing technology and provides a clear understanding of the equipment and processes used in common separation and gas treating systems.

The training course will also cover gas dehydration, sweetening, and gas processing operations, and the integration between the individual processing operations will be clarified. The gathering, separation, and final treatment systems for natural gas will be discussed, as well as the concepts of export quality natural gas, field and fiscal measurements error.

The products (Natural Gas, Condensate, Commercial Propane, and Commercial Butane, etc.) specifications and the processes available to condition the gas to meet these requirements will also be covered.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

Understand inflow and outflow performance in subsurface production operations
