Master West Africa’s natural gas production, processing, and monetization — from field operations to LNG and GTL — with real-world case studies and practical skills.

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 Nigeria LNG (NLNG), Indorama Eleme, and Ghana’s Jubilee Field, participants will connect technical fundamentals with economic and policy realities driving gas monetization in West Africa.

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 West Africa’s unique opportunities and challenges.

❗ Why this course is important

West Africa holds some of the largest gas reserves on the continent—with Nigeria alone boasting over 200 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) and fast-growing developments in Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire, and Senegal. Yet, challenges such as gas flaring, hydrate formation, infrastructure gaps, and underutilized domestic markets limit its potential.

To drive sustainable gas development and energy security, 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 fields.
• • 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 West African gas markets, pricing models, and regulatory frameworks.
• • Apply troubleshooting skills for efficiency, safety, and environmental compliance.
