Indicative Contents المحتويات الإرشادية |
Indicative content includes the following:- 1- Basic concepts of natural gas: Basic definition natural gas, chemical composition of natural gas, further discussions on pipeline gas specifications, calculation involving gas composition, by-products from natural gas, and general processing schemes. [16 hrs]
2- Natural gas value chains, and physical properties of light hydrocarbons and other associated compounds include (densities, thermodynamic properties, heat of combustion, viscosity, thermal conductivities, surface tension and molecular weight of hydrocarbons. [12 hrs]
3- NGL products and the economics of their recovery and describe process flows for each stream in production facilities. [8 hrs]
4- List the products of a typical natural gas processing plant: Needs for Studying Gas Plant (Gas is dehydrated usually by molecular sieve, Gas is partially chilled by back exchange with residue gas stream, Gas is further chilled by refrigeration system, Gas is partially separated into gas-liquid two phases, Gas is further chilled by demethanizer overhead vapor stream, Extremely low temperature stream is obtained by letting down the pressure using turbo-expander, Ethane and heavier are obtained by fractionation. [10 hrs]
5- List the components of natural gas, including contaminants, found in produced gas streams, calculate higher heating value and Wobbe number and describe shrinkage and how it is calculated. [16 hrs]
6- Markets associated to natural gas: Once a reservoir has been discovered, a decision has to be made regarding whether or not it is economically feasible to tap into the particular reservoir. The actual drilling itself is performed by driving a metal bit through the ground and if this does in fact come into contact with natural gas deposits, the well is developed to allow for the extraction of gas. Equipment is thus installed to meter the flow of gas to the surface. [8 hrs]
7- Describe typical process flows for each stream in gas processing facilities: adiabatic flow, isothermal flow and common formula for gas flow. [12 hrs]
8- Explain the difference between gas conditioning to meet a Hydrocarbon Dewpoint (HCDP) specification and gas processing to recover NGLs: by the curve that separates the pure gas phase from the two-phase region. It is the connected points of pressure and temperature at which the first liquid droplet is formed out of the gas phase. [10 hrs]. |

Strategies |
The main strategy that will be adopted in order to encourage students’ participation in Gas Extraction and and gas processing schemes. The enhancement of gas products to produce transportable gas, meet sales-gas specifications, and maximize liquid recovery, sales calls for the adoption of some appropriate strategies as well as recognition and analysis of the special environmental factors such as the market, rivals, economic and financial businesses, syndicates etc. And the general environmental factors such as technology, social, political and economic conditions; analysis of the opportunities and threats, and the recognition of the role and importance of the important players of the regional and international markets. |

The University has a policy NOT to condone "near-pass fails" so the only adjustment to marks awarded by the original marker(s) will be the automatic rounding outlined above. |
