Introduction

Gas condensate Design and Operations Development Practices is an intensive course for process engineers to bridge the gap between university education and practical process design and troubleshooting in a short time of five days. After participating in the course, participants will know the most important design practices and will be able to perform the necessary calculations to design and troubleshoot process units. Participants in this course will gain an understanding of fuel gas systems used in oil and gas production facilities.

Methodology

Our courses are highly interactive, typically taking a case study approach that we have found to be an effective method of fostering discussions and transferring knowledge. Participants will learn by active participation during the program through the use of individual exercises, questionnaires, team exercises, training videos and discussions of “real life” issues in their organizations.
The material has been designed to enable delegates to apply all of the material with immediate effect back in the workplace.
