Course Description
This course is the perfect choice for any engineer planning to begin or develop their career in natural gas processing, but are unsure of where to start.
This course is designed to systematically go through the following discussions related to natural gas processing:
A) Explaining what is natural gas exactly
B) Defining the objectives of natural gas processing plants
C) Providing a comprehensive guide to physical phenomena associated with natural gas
D) Providing a walkthrough to natural gas processing technologies
The course is made into 3 main sections:
Section 1) Introduction to natural gas processing
Objectives: to familiarize the audience with the definitions of natural gas, the differences between natural gas and crude oil, the commonly used units in natural gas processing, and how natural gas is characterized.
Section 2) Natural gas thermodynamics
Objectives: to explain the physical phenomena associated with natural gas such as natural gas phase behavior, retrograde behavior, water-hydrocarbon phase behavior, hydrate formation prediction, and hydrate formation prevention techniques.
Section 3) Natural gas conditioning
Objective: to familiarize, understand, learn to design and operate natural gas conditioning processes such as natural gas sweetening using amine absorption, natural gas dehydration using glycol absorption, natural gas dehydration using solid desiccant, and natural gas liquids recovery.
The target audience of this course is mainly:
Students with chemical/process/mechanical engineering background
Beginners with no or limited experience in the field of natural gas processing
Individuals who are interested in expanding their knowledge of the oil & gas industry
The course mainly relies on two references:
•P. Buthod and W. P. Manning, Oilfield Processing of Petroleum Volume One: Natural Gas. Tulsa: Pennwell Books, 1991
•Gas Processors Suppliers Association, Engineering Data Book 12th edition. Tulsa: Gas Processors Suppliers Association, 2004
