Course Overview

The energy transition has not removed the need for rigour in natural gas liquid extraction; it has added to it. Deferred maintenance and deferred decisions on liquid extraction both accrue interest. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what this strand of energy and hydrocarbon operations has actually achieved. Most organisations already have a policy on natural gas liquid extraction; far fewer can show it working. Participants leave with a method for this area of energy and hydrocarbon operations, not a set of opinions about it. It is designed for mixed groups, so that liquid extraction is examined from more than one functional angle. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place natural gas liquid extraction among the areas with the widest performance spread. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a operating procedure for liquid extraction as they go. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to this part of energy and hydrocarbon operations that the participant is prepared to defend internally.

Expected Learning Outcomes

01

Design permit and isolation controls covering the work involved in natural gas liquid extraction.

02

Handle the trade-offs in liquid extraction between speed, cost and assurance explicitly rather than implicitly.

03

Integrate natural gas liquid extraction with the wider process safety management system.

04

Quantify the production impact of decisions taken on liquid extraction.

05

Verify that contractors working on natural gas liquid extraction meet the same standard as direct staff.

06

Agree the first three actions on liquid extraction that will be taken on returning to work.

07

Compare the organisation's handling of natural gas liquid extraction with recognised practice, and close the material gaps.

04

Liquid extraction: economics, price exposure and investment case

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1The operating limits on liquid extraction and what happens beyond them

  • Confirm handover documentation for natural gas liquid extraction is complete and current.
  • Test the procedure for liquid extraction against a realistic scenario.
  • Record the technical rationale for the chosen approach to natural gas liquid extraction.
  • Estimate the resource liquid extraction requires to run as designed.

Session 2Who answers for liquid extraction, and to whom

  • Anticipate the objections natural gas liquid extraction will raise and prepare the answers.
  • Assess the emissions and discharge attributable to liquid extraction.
  • Build the competence framework that supports natural gas liquid extraction.
  • Arrange the handover of liquid extraction so capability survives staff changes.
