INTRODUCTION:
Natural gas that has been cooled to a liquid state (LNG) can be stored and transported more easily in an unpressurized environment. This is being done because there are several risks involved with keeping things in a gaseous form under pressure. The complete conversion of gas to liquid and subsequent transfer to storage locations is a complicated operation that needs close control.
Such operations employ complicated equipment that runs well only with the assistance of a skilled operator. The entire process is known as the “liquefied natural gas value chain,” and it is made up of important elements like exploration, development, production, gas processing, liquefaction, transport, regasification, distribution, and transport, as well as marketing and sales.
Course Objectives
The primary objective of this training course is to empower professionals with—
• comprehensive understanding and information about the LNG value chain
• the required knowledge and confidence to perform or oversee any function in the LNG (Liquified Natural Gas) value chain training
• the necessary skill, confidence and experience to train other professionals on various aspects of the LNG value chain training
• the required perspective and foresight to review current functions of the organisations and identify and correct gaps in operations
• the skill and capabilities to apply advanced concepts and techniques to enhance LNG operations
• the ability to contribute to organisational growth and development through reduced costs, faster and more efficient operations, greater machine life, etc.
• the information and exposure to understand possible risks and challenges and implement systems to address these to prevent a negative impact on the organisation
• the flexibility and dynamism to change roles and responsibilities across any function or department of the supply chain (Oil & Gas Industry), thereby inviting additional growth opportunities in the organisation
• knowledge and understanding of all aspects of LNG formation and distribution to connect and predict challenges in other departments before implementing changes in one’s department
• the experience and knowledge to ensure employee health and safety as well as adherence to required standards for safety and operations
