This course will provide a broad grounding in the integrity and durability considerations of operating and maintaining a gas turbine. The course starts with covering the reasons why the turbine’s operating conditions are arduous and inevitably lead to the use of special materials and design procedures to estimate component lives. It then moves on to consider the inevitable degradation which occurs during operation, and which gives rise t...

The course will provide participants with a frontline view of the benefits and nuances associated with directional drilling, which is emerging as the production technique of choice for low permeability and geographically constrained CSG reservoirs. A key outcome will be an understanding of when to apply directional drilling and how to avoid potential operational pitfalls. The course will draw heavily on practical field based examples and be st...

This intensive 2-day course will provide participants with a solid grounding in the technologies, concepts, methods and hydrodynamic theories used in the planning, design and construction of harbour facilities. It will illustrate the important issues by reference to case studies and will provide participants with the methodologies needed to plan a port design program and to review those designs when presented. Participants will learn to apprec...

The inaugural Gas Compressor Stations Conference is perfectly timed to discuss the design, build and maintenance of Australia's gas compressor stations. Topics to be discussed include: The economic success of a gas compression operationOperation and selection of the compressorsCost analysis initial cost, operating cost (especially fuel and maintenance cost), life cycle cost, availability, flexibility and emissionsThe layout of compressor stati...

LNG is simply natural gas which has been liquefied for storage and transportation. In LNG form, natural gas is condensed into one 600th of its volume, allowing it to be stored and transported more easily. Liquefaction (by cooling to minus 162 degrees C) occurs in large land based plants and is transported to receiving terminals in LNG carrier vessels. The need for LNG arises due to the uneven distribution of gas resources and gas markets and t...
