Day 1

Natural Gas Industry & Processing Fundamentals

Understand the natural gas value chain and core processing operations.

8 hours 3 modules
Module 1

Natural Gas Value Chain

  • Upstream production: gas reservoirs, wellhead, and gathering systems
  • Gas processing: sweetening, dehydration, fractionation, and NGL extraction
  • Midstream: compression, pipelines, storage, and LNG
  • Downstream: distribution, power generation, and industrial use
Module 2

Gas Composition & Properties

  • Natural gas components: methane, ethane, C3+, CO2, H2S, and nitrogen
  • Gas quality specifications: heating value, Wobbe index, and dew point
  • PVT properties: z-factor, compressibility, and equation of state
  • Hydrate formation: prediction, inhibition, and pipeline pigging
Module 3

Gas Processing Operations

  • Dehydration: glycol contactors, molecular sieves, and dew point control
  • Gas sweetening: amine treating, physical solvents, and Claus unit
  • NGL extraction: J-T expansion, refrigeration, and turboexpander processes
  • Compression: centrifugal and reciprocating compressors for gas service
Practical Workshop

Gas processing design review: teams evaluate a simplified gas processing flow scheme, identify operability issues, and propose optimisation measures for NGL recovery.

Day 3

Pipeline Integrity Management

Apply risk-based integrity management to maintain pipeline safety and fitness for service.

8 hours 3 modules
Module 1

Pipeline Threat Assessment

  • Pipeline threat categories: internal corrosion, external corrosion, and third-party damage
  • Pipeline integrity management programme (PIMP): API 1160 and ASME B31.8S
  • Consequence analysis: high consequence areas (HCAs) and risk zones
  • Failure statistics: CONCAWE and DOT incident data analysis
Module 2

Inspection Technologies

  • Intelligent pigging: MFL, UT, and geometry tools
  • In-line inspection (ILI) data analysis: defect sizing and remaining life
  • Direct assessment: ECDA, ICDA, and SCCDA methodology
  • Hydrostatic testing: test pressure, duration, and spike testing
Module 3

Integrity Assessment & Repair

  • ASME B31G: modified criterion for corrosion defects
  • RSTRENG and DNV RP-F101: assessment of internal and external metal loss
  • Pipeline repair methods: composite sleeves, full-encirclement sleeves, and hot tapping
  • Fitness for service: remaining life calculation and re-inspection interval
Practical Workshop

ILI data analysis: teams review a provided intelligent pigging report, identify and classify defects by severity, determine fitness for service, and prioritise repair actions.

Day 5

Gas Markets, Commercial Structures & Energy Transition

Evaluate natural gas markets, commercial arrangements, and gas's role in energy transition.

8 hours 3 modules
Module 1

Natural Gas Markets & Pricing

  • Regional gas markets: Henry Hub, TTF, NBP, JKM, and Asian LNG pricing
  • Gas pricing mechanisms: oil-indexed, spot, and hybrid contracts
  • Gas trading: spot, forwards, futures, and basis swaps
  • LNG contract structures: DES, FOB, SPA, and price review clauses
Module 2

Gas & LNG Commercial Structures

  • Long-term LNG SPA: take-or-pay, volume flexibility, and destination clauses
  • Gas transportation agreements: capacity booking, interruptible supply, and tariffs
  • Gas storage agreements: working gas, deliverability, and seasonal pricing
  • Midstream project financing: tariff structure and revenue assurance
Module 3

Natural Gas in Energy Transition

  • Gas as transition fuel: role in power generation and heating decarbonisation
  • Methane emissions: leakage rates, OGMP 2.0, and methane action plans
  • Low-carbon gas: biomethane blending and hydrogen-natural gas mixing
  • Gas infrastructure repurposing: H2-ready pipelines and CO2 transport
Practical Workshop

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.

The course outline is indicative. Content may be adapted to reflect current industry developments and delegate experience levels.
