COURSE OVERVIEW:

This course will help the participants to learn in depth about gas production and processing facilities across the full value chain, from the reservoir and wells through to export gas and associated liquids. It provides an integrated view of the gas production life cycle, the functions related to gas operations, and the common processes used in gas plants. Emphasis is placed on how the various surface facilities are configured and operated together to meet production, quality, safety, and environmental requirements. The course links process engineering concepts with day-to-day operations, highlighting typical design considerations, key operating variables, and common operational challenges in modern gas production and processing facilities.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

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

1. Explain the overall gas production life cycle from reservoir development and drilling through to export and sales gas delivery.
2. Describe the main functions related to gas operations and how they are organized within gas production and processing facilities.
3. Identify and explain the common processes used in gas plants, including separation, gas conditioning, compression, dehydration, and handling of liquids.
4. Interpret typical process flow diagrams and plant layouts for gas production and processing facilities.
5. Recognize the roles of key pieces of equipment such as separators, treaters, compressors, heat exchangers, and fractionation towers in gas service.
6. Describe how different processing steps are combined to achieve gas specifications for pipeline export, liquefied natural gas production, or industrial use.
7. Evaluate how changes in reservoir conditions, feed composition, and operating strategy affect gas plant operation and performance.
8. Identify typical operational problems in gas production and processing facilities and outline structured approaches for troubleshooting and recovery.
9. Relate process safety and risk management principles to the design and operation of gas production and processing facilities.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

-Operations professionals working in gas fields and gas plants

-Process engineers involved in the design, support, and optimization of gas facilities

-Production engineers responsible for integrating wells, reservoirs, and surface facilities

-Control room operators and field operators in gas production and processing units

-Maintenance and reliability personnel supporting gas plant equipment

-Technical staff, supervisors, and new graduates seeking an advanced understanding of gas production and processing facilities

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures and discussion sessions, as well as case studies, will be managed to maximize 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 will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

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 completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
