COURSE OVERVIEW:

The course will help the participants to understand Natural Gas Liquid (NGL) systems from reservoir and gas plant outlet through recovery, storage, and transportation to final markets. It will introduce the different types of gas liquids, their chemical and physical properties, and how these properties influence process design, operations, and safety. Participants will gain insight into liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and NGL recovery schemes, removal of impurities, liquefaction of natural gas, shore-based storage, and transportation systems, together with health, safety and environmental (HSE) aspects associated with handling gas liquids in oil and gas facilities.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

-Define gas liquids, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), natural gas liquids (NGL), and liquefied natural gas (LNG) and explain their roles in the hydrocarbon value chain.

-Describe the main chemical and physical properties of gas liquids and how these affect processing, storage, and transportation.

-Explain the principles of phase behaviour and how it governs the separation of gas and liquid hydrocarbon phases.

-Outline typical process configurations for LPG and NGL recovery in gas processing plants.

-Describe the main technologies used for the removal of natural gas impurities such as water, acid gases, and mercury at a conceptual level.

-Explain the basic concepts of liquefaction of natural gas and the interfaces with NGL handling.

-Describe shore-based storage systems for gas liquids, including tank types, loading and unloading systems, and key design considerations.

-Explain the main methods used for transportation of LNG and other gas liquids and their operational characteristics.

-Identify key health, safety and environmental (HSE) hazards associated with gas liquids and outline appropriate safeguards and controls.

-Interpret simplified process flow diagrams related to gas-liquid systems and relate them to field operations.

-Communicate more effectively with process, operations, and project teams on topics related to natural gas liquid systems and facilities.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

-Operations professionals working in gas plants, NGL recovery units, and LNG facilities

-Field operators and control room operators involved in gas processing and gas-liquid handling

-Operations and production engineers supporting gas processing, fractionation, and storage operations

-Maintenance and reliability staff who need a better understanding of gas-liquid systems and their constraints

-Health, safety and environmental personnel working with gas processing and gas liquid storage facilities

-Technical support staff and junior engineers seeking to strengthen their knowledge of natural gas liquid systems

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures and discussion sessions, as well as case studies, will be managed to maximise the amount and quality of information, knowledge, and experience transfer. The course will be intensive but practical and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance learning. Course material through PowerPoint equipped with necessary animation, learning videos, and general discussions will be provided.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and after the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants who complete at least 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
