Introduction

Natural gas processing plays a pivotal role in ensuring the efficient and safe delivery of quality gas products that meet commercial and industrial standards. Designing and integrating gas processes and equipment requires a deep understanding of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and the operational challenges associated with gas treatment, compression, and handling.

The "Gas Process and Equipment Design" course is a structured 5-day program designed to provide participants with the knowledge and practical skills necessary to design, analyze, and optimize gas processing systems and equipment. From separation and dehydration to sweetening, compression, and refrigeration, this course equips participants to address real-world challenges and deliver reliable, efficient, and cost-effective solutions in the oil and gas industry.

Objective

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

  • Core Principles: Understanding gas properties, impurities, and flow behavior.
  • Process Design: Key stages of gas treatment, separation, dehydration, sweetening, and compression.
  • Equipment Sizing and Specification: Designing separators, contactors, compressors, and more.
  • System Integration: Optimizing energy use and ensuring compatibility across processing units.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Meeting environmental and safety standards in gas processing operations.
Audience

This course is designed for:

  • Process engineers and facility designers.
  • Project and design engineers involved in upstream and midstream operations.
  • Operations and maintenance personnel managing gas processing facilities.
  • Equipment and reliability engineers.
  • Professionals seeking to deepen their knowledge of gas processing technologies.
