Oil, Gas & Petroleum · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 2,500
Overview
Natural gas, as it is used by consumers, is much different from the natural gas that is brought from underground up to the wellhead. Gas conditioning and processing separate contaminants to make it suitable for use. The process and equipment vary widely depending on the desired specification and applications of gas.
Learning Objectives
Learn the causes of overpressure and how to deal with them
Enhance knowledge on sizing, specification, and selection of compressors and be able to integrate compressor systems into process facilities
Identify water content and hydrate formation conditions for gas streams using hand calculation methods and gain techniques to inhibit hydrate formation
Provide professionals with knowledge on how to design, operate and address issues on gas conditioning & processing
Effectively select and evaluate processes used to dehydrate natural gas
Maximize profitability thru proper techniques on gas conditioning and processing
Improve and increase production with the use of new technology, proper design, and storage
Gain insights from an expert on liquefaction and regasification of cryogenic gases
Understand gas to liquids conversion and its economic value

Accreditation
Al-Khobraa certified. On completion delegates receive an Al-Khobraa certificate of achievement.
What do Al-Khobraa oil, gas and petroleum courses cover?
The portfolio spans the full value chain: upstream exploration, drilling and well control; midstream processing, pipelines and gas treatment; and downstream refining and petrochemicals — plus process safety management (PSM), HAZOP studies, corrosion control and plant operations. Trainers are practitioners from the sector.
Who should attend an oil, gas and petroleum course?
These courses suit process, production and petroleum engineers, plant and field operators and supervisors, maintenance and inspection staff, HSE and process safety professionals, and technical or commercial staff joining the sector from another industry.
How long are oil, gas and petroleum courses, and where are they held?
Most Al-Khobraa oil, gas and petroleum courses run over 5 days. The exact duration, dates and city for this course are listed in the dates section on this page. Public sessions run across Saudi Arabia — Riyadh, Jeddah, Al-Khobar, Jubail and Yanbu — as well as regional and international venues, with live virtual classrooms available on request.
What certificate will I receive?
Delegates who complete the course receive an Al-Khobraa certificate of completion, issued by a Saudi-registered training provider. Al-Khobraa also delivers internationally accredited programmes; where a course carries an external awarding body such as PMI, CIPS, ILM or IOSH, that body is named on the course's own page.
Can oil, gas and petroleum training be delivered in-house for our team?
Yes. Any Al-Khobraa oil, gas and petroleum course can be delivered in-house at your own premises anywhere in Saudi Arabia or the GCC, with the content, dates and language of delivery tailored to your team. Al-Khobraa is an approved HRDF (Hadaf) provider, so eligible Saudi employers can seek training support. Contact us for a quotation.
