Training course on gas transport

Five-day training course providing a general overview of all relevant aspects of the transmission and distribution of natural gas

Description:

The worldwide importance of gas in the energy mix is expected to increase, in the mid to long term, as new gas fields are discovered and new production methods are developed. Future gas will be coming from a variety of new sources, in the form of LNG, biogas or shale gas.

Changes in operational envelope, greater complexity of the network and stricter safety regimes will pose challenges to the performance and cost-effectiveness of integrity management systems. Demand and supply meet commercially on the gas trading market and physically and technically in
the infrastructure.

This course provides a general overview of all relevant aspects of the transmission and distribution of natural gas, with a main focus on the technical part.

Duration: five days

Result: After attending this course, you will have gained:  
> both practical and theoretical knowledge of all technical
    aspects of gas transport on a general level  
> an overview of state-of-the-art techniques in gas transmission 
> knowledge of the technical lay-out of gas transmission systems
> insight in the processes in place to enable a safe, reliable 
   and efficient gas transport

At the same time, this course will give you the opportunity to set requirements and opportunities for your own particular services and/or products you (could) offer to the gas transmission industry.
