What you'll learn

Explain why produced gas must be conditioned before sale or transport, including hydrate, corrosion and sales-specification drivers
Describe the conditions that cause hydrate formation and the main prevention methods: heating, chemical inhibition and dehydration
Trace the TEG dehydration loop from contactor through regeneration and explain the role of each stage
Recognise the purpose of amine sweetening units and the hazards of H2S and CO2 in sour gas
Apply dew point control and compression fundamentals, including why interstage cooling and suction scrubbers matter
Identify common gas-processing upsets — glycol foaming, carryover, off-spec gas — and respond appropriately
