Natural Gas Production and Processing – a Central African Perspective
Natural gas is becoming a strategic pillar of Central Africa’s energy future, with countries like Angola, Cameroon, Gabon, and the Republic of Congo leading projects in LNG, GTL, and gas-to-power
This intensive 5-day training programme delivers a comprehensive understanding of natural gas systems—from exploration and production to treatment, processing, and market delivery. With case studies on Soyo LNG (Angola), Kribi Gas-to-Power (Cameroon), and emerging GTL projects in Gabon, participants will connect technical fundamentals with economic and policy realities driving gas monetization.
Through hands-on exercises, simulations, and real-world project analysis, delegates will explore gas separation, dehydration, sweetening, NGL recovery, liquefaction, and energy market strategies—within the context of Central Africa’s unique opportunities and challenges.
Why this course is important
Central Africa holds over 14 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of proven gas reserves, yet gas flaring, infrastructure gaps, and regulatory hurdles limit its potential. To unlock this resource, professionals need the ability to:
- Understand natural gas fundamentals and their processing challenges.
- Operate gas gathering, separation, and treatment systems effectively.
- Address hydrate, mercury, and corrosion risks in offshore and onshore environments.
- Master dehydration and acid gas removal technologies (TEG, amine, membranes).
- Optimize NGL recovery, condensate stabilization, and cryogenic processes.
- Assess LNG vs. GTL technologies and their economic viability.
- Navigate Central African gas markets, pricing models, and regulatory frameworks.
- Apply troubleshooting skills for efficiency, safety, and environmental compliance.
Who should attend
This programme is designed for professionals across the gas value chain:
- Process, Production & Petroleum Engineers
- Field Operators & Supervisors (onshore/offshore)
- Technical Staff in gas treatment & facility operations
- Entry-level Engineers moving into gas processing roles
- Regulators & Government Agencies (e.g., ANPG, ARMP, AGE)
- Project Managers overseeing LNG/GTL projects
- Energy Investors & Policy Makers in gas monetization
- Auditors, Compliance & Contract Managers in energy operations
