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.
John Y. Mak is a Senior Fellow and Technical Director at Fluor, the
United States, and leads the technology and design development for
Fluor chemical and energy division. He is the technical expert and
SME with Fluor for over 40 years and has been leading major oil and
gas, petrochemical and refinery projects from conceptual designs,
feasibility studies, FEED development, detailed engineering, to
plant start-up and performance testing. John has made contributions
to innovations in natural gas treating and processing, NGL
recovery, LNG liquefaction and regasification, synthesis gas
purification, and carbon capture methods. John is the co-author of
the Handbook of Liquefied Natural Gas, first edition (2013)
published by Elsevier, the United States. He has published over 80
technical papers and has frequently presented his findings at
technical conferences such as GPA Midstream Convention, GPA Europe,
Laurance Reid Gas Conditioning Conference, LNG Summit, Offshore
Technology Conference, GASTECH, and China Coal Forum. John is the
inventor of over 90 patents and patent pending processes. John is
specializing in more complex NGL recovery designs for conventional
and unconventional gases, treating high CO2 content gases using
physical solvents, acid gas removal with amines, cryogenic nitrogen
rejection and helium recovery. Jaleel V. Valappil is a senior
engineering specialist with Bechtel Oil, Gas & Chemicals in
Houston, TX, USA. He has several years of experience in process
simulation, advanced process control and optimization of various
processes including LNG. Before joining Bechtel, he was a senior
consulting engineer with the Advanced Control Services Group of
Aspen Technology Inc., where he was responsible for developing and
implementing advanced control and optimization solutions for a
variety of processes. He has worked extensively on developing and
deploying process simulation models for applications in design,
engineering, and operations of LNG plant built by Bechtel in
collaboration with Conoco Phillips over the years. He identified
the benefits of lifecycle modeling for LNG plants and its use for
plant design, operability/controllability studies, startup
simulations and Operator Training Simulators, multi-train LNG
facility debottlenecking and operational troubleshooting. Dr.
Valappil has also developed and deployed Advanced Process Control
technology for LNG processes, for plants in engineering stage and
plants that are already operating. He has published several papers
on LNG plant simulation and control in both industry conferences
and journals and holds patents related to LNG plant control and
turbo-machinery operation. David A. Wood has more than forty years
of international gas, oil, and broader energy experience since
gaining his Ph.D. in geosciences from Imperial College London in
the 1970s. His expertise covers multiple fields including
subsurface geoscience and engineering relating to oil and gas
exploration and production, energy supply chain technologies, and
efficiencies. For the past two decades, David has worked as an
independent international consultant, researcher, training
provider, and expert witness. He has published an extensive body of
work on geoscience, engineering, energy, and machine learning
topics. He currently consults and conducts research on a variety of
technical and commercial aspects of energy and environmental issues
through his consultancy, DWA Energy Limited. He has extensive
editorial experience as a founding editor of Elsevier’s Journal of
Natural Gas Science & Engineering in 2008/9 then serving as
Editor-in-Chief from 2013 to 2016. He is currently
Co-Editor-in-Chief of Advances in Geo-Energy Research.
"This book is a great primer on all aspects of the LNG Industry. It
contains the key information we all search for in a single location
and it does an excellent job of highlighting the key considerations
that must be taken into account for any LNG project in
development." --Tom Phalen, Vice President of Upstream Project
Operations, Fluor, USA
