Please contact us for fees
Course Description
This course will start by defining oil and production and processing, oil and gas properties, specifications and end uses. Then, typical oil and gas processing operations will be discussed, including oil and gas separation, oil desalting, oil degassing, oil movement, gas dehydration, acid gas removal, recovery of ethane, propane and NGL (natural gas liquids), liquefied natural gas (LNG) operations and oil refinery. Sulfur recovery will also be discussed. Typical equipment and facilities that are found in typical oil and natural gas processing operations will also be discussed including compressors, vessels, relief systems and safety system
Note: This course can be conducted only on the condition of having +5 participants.
