World renowned gas hydrates expert E. Dendy Sloan Jr. will be visiting The University of Western Australia on the 23-24th November to give a workshop on Natural Gas Hydrate in Flow Assurance.  The workshop is aimed at providing engineers with state-of-the-art practice in flow assurance for hydrates, one of the largest problems in offshore production. The objective of the workshop is to provide hands-on experience for the engineer working in the area of flow assurance.  Participants should possess a basic understanding of gas and oil production.

Dendy Sloan (Ph.D., P.E.) holds the Weaver Chair of Chemical Engineering and is Director of the Center for Hydrate Research at the Colorado School of Mines, where he co-directs a group of 34 researchers on natural gas hydrates. Prior to this he was a Senior Engineer with E.I. DuPont deNemours, Inc. Sloan currently chairs both the U.S. Federal Methane Hydrate Advisory committee, and the CODATA International Hydrate Database Task Group. He has over 200 refereed hydrate publications, including two books: Clathrate Hydrates of Natural Gases, 3rd Ed (2007), co-authored by C.A. Koh and Hydrate Engineering (2000). He is a Fellow of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. Sloan has given several such workshops to oil and gas companies in locations such as Christchurch, Trondheim, New Orleans, and Houston.
