5 training days · 15 modules · hands-on workshops
Understand the natural gas value chain and core processing operations.
Gas processing design review: teams evaluate a simplified gas processing flow scheme, identify operability issues, and propose optimisation measures for NGL recovery.
Apply pipeline design principles and hydraulic modelling to gas and liquid pipelines.
Pipeline hydraulic simulation: teams model a 50 km gas pipeline using simplified flow equations, determine compressor station requirements, and verify MAOP compliance.
Apply risk-based integrity management to maintain pipeline safety and fitness for service.
ILI data analysis: teams review a provided intelligent pigging report, identify and classify defects by severity, determine fitness for service, and prioritise repair actions.
Understand LNG liquefaction, storage, shipping, and regasification systems.
LNG facility review: teams conduct a safety and operability review of a provided LNG terminal process description, identifying the top five hazards and recommending safeguards.
Evaluate natural gas markets, commercial arrangements, and gas's role in energy transition.
Gas market scenario: teams model the commercial structure for a 15-year LNG supply agreement, pricing the volume, flexibility, and destination provisions and running an NPV sensitivity analysis.
