NATURAL GAS ENGINEERING

Course Description

Natural Gas Engineering , although similar in many respects to petroleum-related technologies, differs a lot at the same time. The understanding of gas-bearing strata, related exploration drilling, dangers related with the nature of gas itself-explosion, burning, high underground pressures and methods of coping with such dangers. Introduction to the natural gas occurences, utilization and reserves in the world; Water content, heating value, and hydrates of natural gases. Flow and metering of gases in pipes and wellbores. Natural gas compression, reserve estimates, and storage. Geological and geophysical data of the basin, interpretations of these data and taking the ever-important decision to commence exploration are all of ultimate importance in natural gas engineering. Possible topics to be covered are as follows: Phase Relations in Reservoir Engineering; Phase relations as applied to condensate and retrograde condensate reservoirs and to other problems in petroleum production; enhanced gas recovery, gas pipeline transportation, natural gas processing and liquefaction; equilibrium thermodynamics and its relevance to phase behavior predictions and phase equilibrium data description; phase behavior principles to natural gas condensate systems.
