Optimizing quality control in LNG and Petroleum products using advanced analytical techniques

Title : Optimizing quality control in LNG and Petroleum products using advanced analytical techniques

Abstract:

In the oil and gas industry, maintaining the highest standards of quality control is critical for ensuring product integrity, operational efficiency, and environmental compliance. This presentation delves into the application of advanced analytical techniques, including gas chromatography (GC), molecular spectroscopy (FTIR, UV-Vis), and ISO 17025-compliant laboratory systems, for quality assurance in LNG, crude oil, and water treatment processes. Drawing on over eight years of professional experience, this work showcases innovative approaches to analyzing impurities in petroleum products, optimizing water quality testing protocols, and implementing safety and environmental monitoring procedures. The challenges of calibrating laboratory equipment, interpreting complex data sets, and ensuring compliance with international standards are addressed. Practical case studies from Sonatrach operations illustrate how precise analytical methods have enhanced laboratory efficiency, reduced incident rates, and supported sustainable LNG production. Attendees will gain valuable insights into leveraging cutting-edge laboratory techniques for better accuracy, reliability, and environmental responsibility in the energy sector.
