Flow Assurance in Gas Pipelines: Practical Approach Training Course

This short course will equip delegates with knowledge of the key engineering considerations for the safe and reliable delivery of natural gas via pipelines through industry-based examples of gas flow variables, prediction and optimization. This course will provide both theory and practical simulation from facilitator’s experience of the gas pipeline system using state-of-the art techniques, problem-solving and troubleshooting gas pipeline systems.

The main objective of the course is to provide an in-depth understanding on the major parameters gas pipeline delivery relies on, and how each of such parameters could lead to flow assurance problems. The course will also demonstrate troubleshooting process for the major problems, such as condensate, wet gas, scale formation, hydrate formation and wax formation using theoretical and practical software simulation of existing flow assurance problems.

This course is suitable for all engineers dealing with oil and gas facilities design, operation and regulations. It is also valuable to management who are involved with decision making relating to gas pipeline supply options, and expansion schemes for both greenfield and brownfield projects.
