This course is designed for technical personnel involved in the modeling of gas gathering systems. It covers the sizing of new pipelines and compressors, evaluation of the performance of existing systems and a methodology for the construction of reliable forecasting models. The objectives of this course are to familiarize each participant with:

• The basic features of the software, including ample opportunity to work (hands on) with the software.
• The Gas Gathering System modeling method as developed by Fekete, with background theory as required.

• Geographical referencing of facilities in F.A.S.T. Piper™
• Building gathering systems using the on-screen editing tools & imports
• Pressure loss correlations
• Modeling pipeline loops and multiple delivery points
• Deliverability and reserves
• Modeling compression
• Modeling procedure
