The School holds regular, specialised courses and seminars throughout the year, offering high quality education, technical training and professional development for industry.

The following workshops are currently scheduled for 2012.

Natural Gas Hydrates in Flow Assurance workshop

This workshop is aimed at providing state-of-the-art practice in flow assurance for hydrates, one of the largest problems in offshore production.

The workshop will be valuable to individuals involved in the field of flow assurance by providing understanding and knowledge of gas hydrates, including hands-on experience for the engineer in using tools to evaluate gas hydrates formation and dissociation.

Participants should possess a basic understanding of gas and oil production.

Introduction to Natural Gas Processing & LNG Production workshops

You may elect to attend the whole five-day course, or the first three days, or the latter three days. As refrigeration is an important feature of natural gas and LNG plants, the common day 3 will cover this content.

Introduction to Natural Gas Processing, 11-13 June 2012 (Days 1-3)

This workshop covers the following subjects are covered during the first two days: physical properties, phase equilibria and vapour liquid equilibrium calculations, water hydrocarbon systems, gas transport, acid gas treating/sweetening, dew point control and natural gas liquids recovery. Day 3 is described below.

LNG Production, 13-15 June 2012 (Days 3-5)

The third day will concentrate on refrigeration systems, which are commonly used in gas processing and LNG plants, starting with the basic principles and then moving into development of multi-stage refrigeration and mixed refrigerant units. The final two days will investigate LNG, the basic principles of LNG plants and then examine the primary processes available and discuss some typical operational problems which may arise.
