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....

This Specific course on Natural Gas has helped me much to gain insight into Natural Gas Business Cycle, starting from NG production, through treatment, processing, and to consumer's burning tip.

Teaching and information of the course is excellent and very easy to understand for the beginners. However the data projected is of the year 2015-16 and in these years Gas industry has evolved a lot and thus would request to update the data as per the latest industry projections.

Great course, very summarized but a lot of key takeaways. Not super specific in anyway and doesn't require maths or physics at all. 4 stars out of 5 because I'd have liked to see more about the effects of natural gas on the environment and it's role in the electricity sector.

The course is not about technical. I hope I can study more about natural gas at technical knowledge, thus the lesson is not like my expectation. However, it gave me a new knowledge about the application of natural gas in our daily live especially in U.S.

The southern accent of the lecturer was quite warm, still well-understood!

Too much attention to the US regulations and organizations, as a drawback.

Good presentation.

A variety of subjects, mostly regarding the whole supply chain of natural gas.

All information about natural gas demand and supply, to be precise the whole supply chain is explained in an elegant way by Mr. Thomas Russo. There is scope for understanding how the natural gas energy system work in the US and demand mix.

A mini-course where you can know about the natural gas industry, about recent technologies developed in the industry, and its pros and cons. It can be more elaborated by adding some visuals in the content.

A good understanding of the US natural gas industry. Improvements I would recommend would be changing to metric units, update the course material to 2020 and give a global perspective than limiting to US.

It was overall a good and all round course for a beginner. But it could've been better if it concentrated more about a specific topic which would've been more helpful.

This course was very thorough and clear. It was a little heavy on support for the Big Oil, but stuck to important densely presented facts for the most part.

Even though very focused on the US Market and Regulations, the contents are applicable to other regions and are clearly and concisely explained.

The course would be more interesting if the usage of NG or LNG in CCCPs are covered in the basic level
