Saeid Mokhatab is an internationally renowned process expert in the
fields of natural gas transmission and processing. Over the past
two decades, he has been actively involved in different phases of
several large-scale projects in the natural gas midstream sector,
from conceptual design through facilities startup and operational
support. He has also provided consulting services and expert
guidance to a number of pioneering technology-based and operating
companies in Canada and Europe. He has made significant
contributions to his areas of expertise through four reference
books (published by Elsevier in the United States) and more than
300 technical papers, many of which have been coauthored with
leading experts from the largest international engineering
companies and prominent process licensors. To bridge the gap
between engineering and the science of natural gas, he founded
Elsevier’s peer-reviewed “Journal of Natural Gas Science and
Engineering which has become a leading publication in the field.
He has been an editorial contributor for the 14th edition of the
GPSA Engineering Data Book, and has served on the editorial or
advisory boards of several other notable publications pertaining to
the midstream business. He is a lifetime member of the Society of
Petroleum Engineers (SPE) and has served that organization in
various capacities, including as a member of the Distinguished
Achievement for Petroleum Engineering Faculty Award Committee and a
member of the Projects, Facilities & Construction Award Committee.
He has also been active in other professional organizations,
including the Gas Processors Association Europe (GPAE) and the
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). He has delivered
several invited lectures and short courses for both commercial and
academic institutions, and has served on the technical program and
advisory committees of many acclaimed midstream gas conferences
worldwide.
William A. “Bill Poe is a Senior Principal Technical Consultant at
AVEVA, the United States. He has over 35 years of international
business and industrial experience in design, operations and
project management of gas processing plants with a special focus on
automation, multivariable predictive control (MPC), advanced
process control (APC), optimization design and implementation, and
real-time performance monitoring. Bill started his career at Shell
Oil Company, USA, in 1981, working over a decade in natural gas
processing plants operations and engineering as well as management
of multimillion-dollar projects. In 1993, he joined Continental
Controls to lead the process engineering department in support of
executing contracts with the Gas Research Institute, USA, where he
developed new multivariable control applications in the natural gas
industry. After joining GE as part of the Continental Controls
acquisition, he became vice president of this division of GE where
his responsibilities included direction of product development,
projects, technical sales support, and customer service for
multivariable control and optimization applications in the natural
gas industry. In 2001, Bill joined Invensys Process Systems, USA,
where he has developed APC and Optimization Master Plans for
international companies such as Saudi Aramco, ADNOC, Statoil, and
PDVSA, as well as automation and advanced process control
feasibility studies for over 100 natural gas processing plants
worldwide. After Schneider Electric acquired Invensys Process
Systems in 2014 and merged its software division with AVEVA in
2018, he has continued to work with the top gas processing
companies. Bill is an Associate Editor of the Journal of Natural
Gas Science & Engineering, has authored or co-authored more than 60
technical papers, and made numerous technical presentations at
prestigious international conferences. He received the GE
Innovators Award in 1999 and attained the Invensys Circle of
Excellence in 2011. Dr. Speight has more than fifty years of
experience in areas associated with the properties and processing
of conventional and synthetic fuels. He has participated in, as
well as led, significant research in defining the use of chemistry
of tar sand bitumen, heavy oil, conventional petroleum, natural
gas, coal, oil shale, and biomass as well as work related to
corrosion and corrosion prevention. He has founded and/or edited
several international journals, most recently the Proceedings of
the Oil Gas Scientific Research Project Institute, Azerbaijan, and
Petroleum Science and Technology (Taylor & Francis, until
2020).
Dr. Speight is an author/editor of several databases and
encyclopedic works. He has also authored more than 95 books as well
as more than 400 publications, reports, and presentations detailing
these research activities, and has taught more than eighty related
courses.
"We are entering into an economic cycle where natural gas is going
to play the leading role as energy source than what it played in
the past century. It has been called the Gas Economy. This book
intends to educate in the areas of gas transmission and processing
discussing new technology in these areas. I recommend that you
consider this practical book for quick reference in your day-to-day
business." --Jorge H. Foglietta, Director of Technology Development
and Process Engineering, ABB Lummus Global Inc. – Randall Gas
Technologies, USA
"This is an excellent document that combines all facets of
engineering within the oil and gas business from source to supply.
As well as supporting our engineering design industry thiswork will
offer a comprehensive education to our process engineers of the
future." --Dr John H. Hargreaves, Chief Process Engineer, KBR
Production Services, Aberdeen, UK
"Natural gas is in the ascendant as a green fuel of the future. Gas
usage will continue to increase worldwide in the coming years. In
this regard it is fitting that technical books covering gas
processing and transport will be required reading for technical
specialists. This highly readable book contains a mine of
information on gas transmission and processing. It is recommended
for the layman and the technical specialist." --Dr. Satinder
Purewal, Leader - Business and Leadership,Shell International
Exploration and Production B.V., The Netherlands
"Natural gas will not only continue to be a significant part of the
energy resource for many years to come, but its use will also be
increasing. This book documents the latest technology in all areas
of natural gas engineering. It is a useful book for every engineer,
scientist, and researcher who has ever faced the challenge of
investigating natural gas gathering, processing, and transport. I
recommend it highly, as a reference and textbook." --Dr. Brian F.
Towler, Head, Department of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering,
University of Wyoming
"This book is a useful reference to have for producers,
transporters, processors and commercial users. It covers all
technical aspects of natural gas transmission and processing. I
recommend that if you work in the natural gas area, you have this
reference available." --Dr. James F. Lea, Kerr McGee Professor of
Petroleum Engineering, University of Oklahoma
"This book covers subject areas missed by other books on natural
gas engineering that have emphasized mainly the upstream aspects.
The emergence of natural gas in a global market underscores the
importance of transmission and processing, and I highly recommend
this book as a technical resource." --Dr. Christine A.
Ehlig-Economides, Professor, Albert E. Stevens Endowed Chair in
Petroleum Engineering, Texas A&M University
"The ongoing emergence of natural gas as the premier fuel of the
world economy makes this book eminently topical and useful to all
professionals working along the natural gas chain from exploration
and production to the midstream and downstream. It fills a
considerable void." --Dr. Michael J. Economides, Professor of
Chemical Engineering, University of Housto
