Production Facility Gas Processing
e-Learning
About the eLearning Course
In this course, we discuss basic principles on which most refrigerated gas processing plants operate. We will discover how natural gas is formed, its composition and contaminants it contains. You will learn about different types of separators in addition to different options for crude oil dehydration. Additionally, you will learn about NGL extraction and the different extraction technologies available, ending the section with the Claus unit.
Target Audience
Operations personnel who require a fundamental understanding of knowledge to operate and maintain facilities. Also suitable for maintenance and technician personnel whether new to their roles or seasoned experts looking to enhance their skills.You Will Learn
Participants will learn how to:
- Describe how natural gas is formed, its composition, where it is found, and the contaminants it contains.
- Summarize the process flow through the gas processing facility.
- Explain how liquid is removed from gas produced at the well site.
- Describe different types of separators and their applications.
- Explain how amine solutions extract acid gas components from natural gas.
- Summarize different options for crude oil dehydration and stabilization.
- Explain why NGL extraction is required and describe its different technology options.
- Differentiate the fractionation towers used to separate NGLs, including the deethanizer, depropanizer, and debutanizer.
- Outline the purpose and function of the Claus and tail gas treating unit.
