Overview

The Natural Gas Plant Operations Online Training Program provides you with the knowledge and skills you’ll need to begin an exciting career in natural gas plant operations. Natural gas has two things going for it. First, it provides clean energy. Second, it’s plentiful in the United States. For decades to come, natural gas will be produced and consumed in the United States, creating ongoing demand for natural gas plant operators.

For people who want to enter this field, it’s difficult to find suitable training to become an entry-level worker. This online program provides the fundamental technical background you need to get started in this field. This online certificate program is offered in partnership with major colleges, universities, and other accredited education providers.

Objectives

Upon successful completion of this program, you’ll be able to:

• Describe basic math, physics, and chemistry knowledge necessary for a gas plant operator

• Understand safety as it relates to gas plant production

• Describe basic elements of electricity

• Read technical process drawings

• Describe basic operational elements of lubrication and centrifugal pumps

• Understand how natural gas is found in nature and how gas wells are developed

• Describe how natural gas compression and refrigeration systems work

• Determine various methods used to purify natural gas

Detail

Natural gas plant operators monitor and control the systems and equipment that take gas from its natural state and convert it into a useable product. Your job is to ensure that the gas produced is free of impurities. The purified gas is then separated into products such as ethane, propane, butane, and methane. You’ll also be responsible for the flow of this processed gas into the pipelines that carry it to the various industries and homes that use it for fuel. In addition, you’ll make gas flow changes to the supply system to keep pace with customer demands.

Natural gas plant operators earn above-average wages and enjoy good job security and potential to advance into supervisory or management positions.

This is a user-friendly program, designed for people who have no prior exposure to technical aspects of hydrocarbons, energy, or industrial processes. No prior science or math education is necessary; the program includes all of the necessary basic science and technology elements.

Upon registering, you’re given an initial twelve months to complete this program. Should you need more time beyond the twelve months, an extension of six months is available at no additional cost.
