The efficient, safe, and commercially viable delivery of natural gas from midstream facilities to end-users depends on the precision and reliability of transmission and distribution systems. Accurate metering, optimal flow measurement, and effective loss minimization are not just technical necessities—they are business imperatives that directly impact profitability and regulatory compliance.

However, metering in gas transmission presents complex challenges due to high flow rates, fluctuating gas compositions, and varying transport conditions, making accurate measurement both critical and demanding. On the distribution side, managing multiple delivery points while ensuring precise billing and minimizing gas losses adds another layer of complexity. 

This comprehensive course provides professionals with in-depth knowledge and practical expertise in gas transmission and distribution operations, modern metering technologies, and global best practices in measurement and auditing. Participants will gain actionable insights into optimizing system performance, improving financial accountability, and ensuring compliance with industry standards.

By the end of this course, participants will:

•  Develop a comprehensive understanding of how gas flow characteristics and physical properties affect accurate metering in commercial operations and how to minimise those effects.
• Learn the principles, selection criteria, and operational challenges of various metering technologies.
• Understand the impact of temperature, pressure, density, and gas compressibility on measurement accuracy and commercial billing, while learning how to calculate and analyze BTU content.
•  Deepen your understanding of meter proving, gas flow meter instrument calibration, and industry best practices for ensuring accurate and reliable measurements across gas transmission and distribution networks.
• Develop skills to calculate line pack, manage capacity allocation, address unaccounted-for losses, and apply international best practices in measurement reporting, auditing, and regulatory compliance.

• Professionals responsible for the operation, maintenance, and optimization of gas transmission and distribution networks.
• Engineers specializing in gas flow measurement, metering system selection, calibration, and accuracy assurance.
• Individuals managing gas sales contracts, billing accuracy, and financial risk related to measurement uncertainties.
• Experts ensuring adherence to industry regulations, metering standards, and best practices in gas accounting and auditing.
• Professionals overseeing gas infrastructure projects, metering system implementations, and technology evaluations.
• Representatives from regulatory bodies involved in setting policies for gas metering, transmission, and distribution standards.

The course is delivered through a dynamic and interactive approach, incorporating expert-led classroom lectures, engaging group discussions, in-depth case study analysis, and collaborative syndicate presentations. Participants will actively engage with real-world challenges, apply industry best practices, and develop practical solutions through scenario-based learning.

To ensure technical depth and industry relevance, the course references globally recognized materials, including the GPSA Engineering Data Book, key industry standards such as ISO, AGA, and API, as well as midstream and downstream petroleum measurement regulations. Additionally, participants will have access to international best-practice publications, providing insights into emerging technologies, regulatory frameworks, and operational excellence in gas metering. This structured and resource-driven approach ensures that participants gain both theoretical knowledge and practical expertise essential for optimizing gas transmission, distribution, and metering operations.
