It will cover various techniques, including basic gas reservoir engineering, properties of natural gas, material balance, and gas reserve determination. Other concepts that will be covered include gas deliverability, nodal analysis, and well testing in gas reservoirs.

By the end of this course delegates will be able to:

• Know the basic concepts, equations, and analysis methods used for evaluation, production, transportation, and management of natural gas resources
• Develop ability in solving natural gas engineering problems by analytical thinking and reasoning, while applying the integrated knowledge of physics, mathematics, geo-sciences and engineering sciences
• Develop ability in overcoming design and operational problems encountered in natural gas production and transmission facilities
• Work in teams to discuss and explore the solutions to the natural gas engineering problems by creative thinking

Geologists, Petrophysicists, reservoir engineers, production engineers, laboratory researchers, and gas field operators
