Gas Handling, Conditioning and Processing Facilities
Background & About the Course:
The management of natural gas is a critical aspect of oil and gas operations, encompassing handling, conditioning, and processing stages. Gas facilities require in-depth technical knowledge to ensure each process is conducted safely, efficiently, and in compliance with regulations. As technology and equipment grow more complex, and operational efficiency and environmental compliance become increasingly demanding, the workforce must continuously update their skills.
This course is designed to meet these needs by providing foundational to advanced knowledge of natural gas handling. Participants will gain insights into gas properties, equipment usage, and operational techniques. Additionally, the program highlights the importance of workplace safety, energy efficiency, and environmental protection, equipping participants with troubleshooting skills to tackle operational challenges.
Course Objectives:
- Understand the fundamentals of gas handling and recognize the physical and chemical properties of natural gas
- Enhance knowledge of key technologies and equipment used in gas conditioning and processing (e.g., separators, dehydrators, compressors)
- Develop operational skills to improve facility efficiency and safety
- Ensure regulatory compliance regarding gas handling and environmental standards
- Strengthen troubleshooting capabilities to identify and resolve processing issues
Who Should Attend:
- Technical and non-technical staff involved in oil and gas production
- Surface equipment operators
- Pipeline, pump, and compressor technicians
- Gas measurement personnel
- Office and field workers seeking knowledge of gas production processes
