Course Description:

This course covers gas production technology. It thereby enables one to timely select the most beneficial technology and set realistic expectations on production behavior changes and recovery improvement. The impacts of the selected technology on personnel training, technology transfer, and facility modification are also covered. Many illustrative problems, worked in the class by teams, are helpful in gaining a better grasp of the subject matter.

Course Goal:

To enhance the participants’ knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to understand and apply technology of gas production
