COURSE OVERVIEW

PetroTeach offers a five-day course on the Fundamental Concepts of Natural Gas Engineering. This training course/workshop focuses on the properties of natural gas and the fundamental principles governing its behavior. Topics include phase behavior fundamentals, qualitative and quantitative phase behavior analysis, vapor–liquid equilibrium (VLE), Equation of State (EOS) models, and the determination of critical pressure and temperature.

In addition, the course covers natural gas processing, gas gathering and transportation systems, and an overview of natural gas resources. The program provides participants with a solid theoretical foundation combined with practical insight into natural gas engineering and its applications in field development and facility operations.
