The Dynamics of LNG

This 5 day workshop will improve delegates' knowledge about various aspects of the production operations and injection facilities. These include surface facilities; oil-gas separators; gas compression; gas refrigeration and cryogenic processes as well as gas treatment in gas dehydration (TEG plant) as gas sweetening by (DEA plant).

Course Objectives

This short training programme is aimed at improving the delegate’s knowledge and understanding of the various principles of operation involved in producing, handling and processing natural gas and associated fluids. In this programme you will learn how to:

  • Increase learning and comprehension of the various systems.
  • Contributing towards safe, efficient and economic operation of plant and equipment.

Benefits Of Attending

Attending this training course provides several benefits. Participants will gain a thorough understanding of LNG systems, their control, and operational characteristics, ensuring safer operations. They will also learn about the hazards associated with LNG operations and precautions for handling chemicals, particularly hydrocarbons. Additionally, the course covers key aspects of the LNG market, pricing challenges, and transportation/storage, offering valuable insights for industry professionals.

Who Should Attend

  • Gas Price Prediction Team
  • LNG Processes Engineers & Logistics Staff
  • Gas Supervisor Engineers
  • Government regulators
  • Corporate Planning professionals
  • Geoscience & Engineering professionals
  • Supply Planners & Scheduling professionals
