Overview

Processing and Conditioning of Gas 

About the Course

For more than 52 years, the Campbell Gas Course has served as the industry norm. Our G-4 curriculum, which is regarded by many as the most practical and comprehensive course in the oil and gas business, has been attended by tens of thousands of engineers. Volumes 1 and 2 of the Campbell Gas Course texts are frequently updated to reflect new developments in this vast business. The sensitivity of technological decisions is examined using both manual approaches and computer-aided analysis. A total of 30 problems will be given, evaluated, and discussed during the course in order to improve learning. There will be both individual and group problem-solving.

Target Audience

Personnel involved in the production and processing of natural gas and related liquids should get familiar with the functioning of gas conditioning and processing units. Facilities engineers, process engineers, senior operations staff, field supervisors, and engineers who choose, design, install, evaluate, or run gas processing plants and associated facilities should take this course. The issues are approached with a broad perspective.

Course Objectives

• Gas engineering and technology applications in buildings and gas plants Key requirements for gas, NGL, and condensate
• Regarding the choice and assessment of methods to meet hydrocarbon dewpoint requirements, dehydrate natural gas, and extract NGLs
• How to operate, construct, and evaluate gas processing facilities using physical/thermodynamic property correlations and principles
• Equipment sizing techniques for large process equipment that are realistic
• assessing the scientific soundness of arguments about gas processing
• To identify and create solutions for control issues and operating problem examples in gas processing facilities
