DESIGNED FOR

Production and processing personnel involved with natural gas and associated liquids to acquaint or reacquaint themselves with gas conditioning and processing unit operations. This course is for facilities engineers, process engineers, operations personnel, field supervisors and others that select, design, install, evaluate or operate gas processing plants and related facilities.

 

YOU WILL LEARN

  • About the selection and evaluation processes used to dehydrate natural gas, meet hydrocarbon dew point specifications and extract NGLs

  • How to apply physical/thermodynamic property correlations and principles to the design and evaluation of gas processing facilities

  • Equipment sizing methods for major process equipment

  • To recognize and develop solutions to operating problems and control issues in gas processing facilities

ABOUT THE COURSE

The “Campbell Gas Course™” has been the standard of the industry for forty years. Over 30,000 engineers have attended our G-4 program, considered by many to be the most practical and comprehensive course in the oil and gas industry. Both hand-methods and computer-aided analysis are used to examine sensitivities of technical decisions. To enhance the learning process, about 30 problems will be assigned, reviewed and discussed throughout the course.
