Details

The course is designed for a broad managerial audience with a moderate technical background.  It is intended to be interactive and engaging.  While some of the issues discussed may be technical in nature, this is not a technical course.
 
The course is intended to provide the delegate with insight into how to match the required technologies with the market needs, processing needs, and commercial needs of gas processing – ideally before any contractual negotiations begin.
 
The course will increase the understanding of the issues confronted by gas processing, and increase the awareness of potential options available to address the issues.  While breaking down the issues into manageable pieces, it does encourage a holistic approach to manage the issues, and balance the contractual, commercial and technical requirements.
 
As with any John Westover course, this course uses a mix of classroom lecture and participation discussion.

Outline

Course Content:

Due to the highly interactive nature of the course, the agenda is approximate.
