About the Course

This course will educate you in the characteristics and properties of natural gas, preparing you with the ability to summarize gas system components and new pipeline technologies. You will be enabled to grasp the key factors behind formation of the natural gas industry and the historical use of natural gas. Ultimately, you will be able to identify gas and carbon monoxide safety procedures. This course is for individuals considering a career in the energy field (who have a high school diploma, at minimum, and basic knowledge of mathematics), and existing energy sector employees with less than three years of experience who have not completed similar training and would benefit from a course of foundational industry concepts. Main concepts of this course will be delivered through lectures, readings, discussions and various videos. This is the second course in the Energy Production, Distribution & Safety specialization that explores various facets of the power sector, and features a culminating project involving creation of a roadmap to achieve a self-established, energy-related professional goal. To learn more about the specialization, check out a video overview at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Yh9qIYiUDk....

I learned a lot about the natural gas industry, drilling, fracking, production process, gas storage, pipeline management, LNG import-export process, and their approach to preventing leakage incidents. Although, this is a controversial industry they are trying their best to make it sustainable. Thanks to this course and the instructor Tom Russo, I had a great insight into the natural gas industry and learned a lot which will be very useful if I work for the gas industry in the future.

Very good course but two corrections are needed:

There is a diagram in the Utility Basics chart where LNG appears instead of NGL (twice).

A slide summarizing all acronyms would be good.

Also, in the Customer Services & Metering section, (minute 2:31) it mentions erroneously a Therm being 1000 CF, need to correct t say 100!

Hoping to apply for a job at Russo on Energy!
