o Natural Gas Types, Production Techniques and Quality Requirements.
o Gas Dehydration and Hydrate Formation Inhibition.
o Gas Sweetening: H₂S and CO₂ Removal.
o Claus Process and Tail Gas Treatment.
o Exercises:
• Exercise 01: Classify the well effluent, identify what is in it that does not belong, and determine exactly what each export route will demand before the gas is cleared to ship.

• Exercise 02: Track down why the TEG unit loses its grip on the water dewpoint specification when temperatures drop and prescribe the fix before a cold snap becomes a compliance event.

• Exercise 03: Diagnose what is simultaneously causing foaming and H₂S breakthrough in the amine unit and intervene before sweetening performance crosses the point of no return.
Complex Quebec Anchor Scenario: All case studies and exercises draw from an integrated offshore gas production and processing facility with an onshore LNG export terminal, used progressively across all five days.

o NGL Extraction: Refrigeration, J-T Expansion and Turbo-Expander.
o NGL Fractionation and Gas Field Development Options.
o Other Gas Treatments: Mercury Removal and Mercaptans.
o Natural Gas Transport and Underground Storage.
o Exercises:
• Exercise 04: Complex Quebec: Quantify what a turbo expander upgrade actually delivers in incremental NGL recovery and determine whether the process modifications it demands justify the investment.

• Exercise 05: Select the right mercury removal technology for the liquefaction train and place it precisely where in the processing chain it will protect the cold box from amalgamation damage.

• Exercise 06: Decide between pipeline and LNG export for a new field development using production profile and distance to market to determine which option creates more value over the field life.

o The LNG World: Base Load, Peak Shaving and Receiving Terminals.
o LNG Specific Physical Properties and Thermodynamic Behavior.
o LNG Safety Aspects: Flammability, RPT and Cryogenic Hazards.
o LNG Hazard Prevention and Mitigation Measures.
o Exercises:
• Exercise 07: Place Complex Quebec in the global LNG supply chain, identify its target markets, and explain why its geographic position determines every major technical specification.

• Exercise 08: Identify every hazard unleashed by an LNG spill at the marine loading arm and establish the response priorities before each mechanism has time to escalate.
• Exercise 09: Identify the two scenarios where Complex Quebec's impoundment system fails to contain a spill and specify exactly what needs to change in the design to close each gap.

o Feed Pretreatment Requirements and Liquefaction Processes.
o LNG Storage Tanks, Loading Operations and Marine Transport.
o Technology of LNG Specific Equipment: Heat Exchangers, Compressors and Pumps.
o LNG Plant Operations: Startup, Normal Operations and Loading.
o Exercises:
o Exercise 10: Compare C3-MR and AP-X head-to-head for capacity expansion and determine which liquefaction process fits Complex Quebec's operational reality, not just the technical brochure.

• Exercise 11: Track down what is generating more BOG than the storage tanks should be producing and responding before the excess overwhelms the management system and forces a flare event.
• Exercise 12: Diagnose why the cold box is refusing to cool down at the expected rate after a maintenance shutdown and identify the fix before the delayed startup becomes a contract problem.

o Morning Session: Diagnose three simultaneous chain constraints in isolation, gas treatment bottlenecks from a feed composition shift, an NGL fractionation blocking liquefaction supply, and a refrigerant compressor approaching capacity limits on a 15% production increase request.

o Afternoon Session: Build the operational plan that resolves the feed composition change and the production increase simultaneously, sequencing every adjustment across gas treatment, NGL recovery, and LNG liquefaction in the order that keeps the chain moving.
