Study PGE 403 the smart way
Sage already knows this exact syllabus — ask it anything about Natural Gas Engineering, generate practice questions in your exam's format, and get a cram sheet that works offline.
What you'll be able to do (official learning outcomes)
differentiate between different types of natural gas and calculate physical properties of natural gas and associated gas
differentiate between all types of gas reservoirs and identify the characteristics and conditions for each type as well as calculate gas reserve in each type
design gas well testing and analyse recorded data of pressure-flow rate for interpreting initial reservoir pressure and expected skin factor as well as reservoir permeability
analyse different types of gas reservoir deliverability tests and predict current and future reservoir performance
analyse decline rate data for predicting future gas reservoir deliverability using different techniques of decline rate analysis (DCA)
identify different types of gas flow meters and apply mathematical models to calculate gas flow rates
design pipeline networks and gathering stations and apply mathematical models for the optimum operating conditions at surface facilities
handle the sour gas problem by suggesting various gas treating methods;
