Upstream Gas Conditioning and NGL Recovery

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Evaluate and select appropriate NGL extraction techniques based on factors such as gas composition, desired recovery levels, and economic considerations.
• Optimize process integration for efficiency across the various processes involved in gas conditioning and NGL extraction.
• Design and troubleshoot NGL extraction facilities through a detailed understanding of process schemes, equipment, and operational considerations.
• Understand NGL stabilization and distillation principles enabling them to meet product specifications and maximize the value derived from NGL streams.
• Link theory to practical applications to bridge the gap between theoretical concepts and practical applications in gas conditioning and NGL extraction operations.

This course is tailored for upstream professionals involved in natural gas production and early-stage processing. It is ideal for those working with wellhead fluids and field operations who seek to enhance their understanding of gas conditioning and NGL extraction. The course provides valuable insights into the critical processes that bridge production and midstream operations, enabling participants to make more informed decisions about field development, production optimization, and early-stage gas treatment. By understanding these downstream processes, upstream professionals can better anticipate and address challenges in gas quality, improve field planning, and optimize the overall value chain from reservoir to sales point.

Your expert course leader, based in UK, has established himself as an authority in gas processing and conditioning. As the lead process engineer for the $300 million Omar Gas Project in the Middle Eas, he was responsible for the entire process design of the 160 MMscf/d gas plant from concept to detailed engineering, including gas chilling, dehydration, and a two-stage propane refrigeration system for NGL/LPG extraction with 95% butane recovery. He has leveraged process simulation tools extensively, such as modeling Brunei Shell’s entire offshore gas gathering network for debottlenecking. His expertise spans plant conceptualization, comparing technology alternatives like membrane vs cryogenic NGL separation, developing process flow diagrams, sizing key equipment like glycol dehydration units and stabilizer columns, and ensuring robust specifications meet product requirements. His gas conditioning proficiency has been applied across mega-projects globally for supermajors like Shell, BG Group and PETRONAS.
