Overview

Troubleshooting for Gas Processing Facilities 

 About the Course

 In this course, you will learn how to establish and use a basic troubleshooting approach as well as how to troubleshoot specific processes and pieces of equipment in relation to gas production and processing facilities.

Definitions of good and typical performance are provided for each process and type of equipment mentioned. It will address the procedures for gathering, verifying, and utilizing data. Additionally, we'll discuss how to assess prospective problem solutions. Real-world exercises will be used to reinforce the learning objectives all during the class. Both onshore and offshore facilities will be covered. Participants in the course are expected to have a comprehensive understanding of the common procedures and equipment employed in gas production and processing facilities. The course won't go into great detail on the fundamentals.

Target Audience

 senior facility operations employees, process/facilities engineers with 5–10 years of experience, and facility engineering team leaders/supervisors.

Course Objectives

•  Debottlenecking, optimization, and troubleshooting distinctions How to recognize issues when they arise
• How to develop a thorough troubleshooting procedure to understand the significance of the connections among the many components of a facility and how they impact one another.
• How to gather, validate, and use the information needed for troubleshooting
• The elements to consider when selecting the best alternative from a variety of workable ones
• The typical root causes of problems and their solutions are given for the main processes and pieces of equipment utilized in upstream/midstream gas production and processing operations.

Course Outlines

•  Understanding how to optimize, debottleneck, and troubleshoot diverse gas production and processing facilities will help you
•  difficulties with the system rather than individual pieces of equipment or components How to determine "good/normal operation" and how much it will cost
• Data collection, validation, and usage (data sources, types, and quality, as well as data validation and use)
• making a flowchart or procedure for problem-solving in stages Selecting the best response (using the best standards)
• ome of the processing and important equipment modules covered are separation tools, amine gas sweetening, glycol dehydration, molecular sieve dehydration, shell and tube heat exchangers, NGL recovery techniques, reciprocating compressors, and centrifugal compressors.
