Oil & Gas Operations: Gas Processing, Hydrates, Dehydration, Sweetening, NGL Recovery & Fractionation, Oil Production, Desalting, Stabilization, Storage Tanks, Mixers, Meter Proving, Cargo Calculations & Flow Measurement
Introduction
This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of oil and gas field operations. It covers the properties of crude oil; crude assay; types and accessories of tanks; operation and inspection guidelines; corrosion and cathodic protection; tank gauging; tank mixers; meter proving and calculations; meter proving; meter factor and calculations; crude tank cleaning; and gas freeing and line pigging. The course will also discuss the physical properties of gases; gas liquid separation; hydrates and water content of gas; hydrate inhibition and dehydration of gas; NGL recovery; short cycle units; low temperature separation; mechanical refrigeration; and turbo expander; gas sweetening; amine gas sweetening; MEA loading and corrosion; and amine reclaimer.
