This comprehensive course is designed for engineers, designers, and technical professionals involved in the planning, design, and maintenance of natural gas pipeline systems. It is specifically tailored for midstream pipeline operators transporting clean, dry, sweet pipeline-quality gas—generally downstream of a gas processing or stripping plant.

Attendees will gain a working knowledge of essential engineering concepts, regulatory requirements, and industry best practices across the full lifecycle of pipeline design—from codes and gas quality to valve placement and smart tool accommodation. Many of the topics covered will include detailed engineering concepts and calculations, making this course ideal for those with a technical background or engineering responsibilities.

This highly practical course blends instruction with real-world examples to help attendees develop critical decision-making skills and ensure compliance, safety, and operational efficiency in their pipeline projects.

Whether you're new to the gas transmission industry or need a refresher on evolving regulations and technical advancements, this course will equip you with the knowledge and confidence to design and support natural gas infrastructure effectively.

Join us to advance your pipeline expertise and ensure your projects meet today’s operational, safety, and regulatory demands—register now to secure your seat!
