Anticipate the objections that sour gas treatment will attract internally and answer them in advance.
Sour Gas Treatment Techniques and Sulphur Impurity Removal
Learn to design, measure and defend your organisation's approach to sour gas treatment.
Course Overview
Deferred maintenance and deferred decisions on sour gas treatment both accrue interest. Price volatility does not excuse weak discipline in this aspect of energy and hydrocarbon operations — it punishes it. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from this part of energy and hydrocarbon operations, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. Mature organisations treat sour gas treatment as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. It treats the energy and hydrocarbon operations discipline as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. Improvement in this aspect of energy and hydrocarbon operations stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for sour gas treatment. Participants gain a realistic view of what the practice within energy and hydrocarbon operations costs and what it returns. The final module sets out how progress on this part of energy and hydrocarbon operations will be evidenced six months later.
