Natural Gas Production and Processing

О курсе

This course, "Natural Gas Production and Processing" gives a holistic understanding of the entire lifecycle of natural gas, from production to processing providing a comprehensive knowledge base and practical skills to excel in the natural gas industry. In the "Natural Gas Production" module, the fundamentals of gas recovery and the intricacies of production and separation facilities are explored. Piping guidelines and safety are extensively discussed to ensure learners understand the best practices for designing, installing and maintaining gas pipelines. It also covers pipeline transportation of natural gas and gas flow systems, enabling learners to comprehend the principles and techniques involved. Pressure vessels and accessories are vital part of natural gas production and their design, operation and safety considerations are extensively covered. It also covers gas hydrates and the use of methanol injection for temperature control and prevention of hydrate formation besides condensate stabilization systems and the importance of gas gathering and compression in efficient gas production operations. The "Natural Gas Processing" module dives into the treatment and purification of natural gas. The module begins with an introduction to natural gas processing, covering the importance of removing impurities and liquids from raw natural gas to meet quality specifications. It explores gas dehydration methods, including adsorption and absorption techniques, as well as the widely used glycol dehydration process. It gives insights into the maintenance, regeneration, care and troubleshooting of glycol dehydration systems. Various gas sweetening processes such as the iron sponge process, Sulfa-Treat, molecular sieve, zinc oxide, solvent, membrane and distillation processes which remove contaminants such as hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide to make the gas marketable are extensively covered. Furthermore, it delves into liquid recovery processes and fractionation to understand how valuable liquid hydrocarbons are recovered from the natural gas stream through unit operations. Target learners: Students pursuing Diploma / UG / PG Programs in Chemical/ Petroleum/ Oil and Gas Engineering. Faculties / Working Professionals in the above domain & other aspiring learners. Prerequisite: Basic Chemical/ Petroleum/ Oil and Gas Engineering
