DESIGNED FOR YOU, IF YOU ARE...

A geoscientist, an engineer, O&G executives/managers and even a non-specialist in this industry.

 

HOW WE BUILD YOUR CONFIDENCE

The teaching methods are both exhibition and active (exercises). It can be implemented both distance and in a face-to-face format.

​

THE BENEFITS FROM ATTENDING

This course aims to provide participants with firm knowledge about the universe of oil and gas industry.  Similarly, they will be able to understand the processes involved in the O&G production chain (exploration, production, storage, refinement, and transport).

​

By the end of the course, you will feel confident in your understanding of:

• The global market of renewable and non-renewable energy sources.

• How hydrocarbons are generated and accumulated in sedimentary basins.

• Identify the technical aspects related to a petroleum system.

• Identify drilling rigs and equipment used in onshore and offshore operations.

• The O&G supply chain (exploration, production, storage, refining, transport, distribution).

• The impact of upstream, midstream, and downstream operations on the environment.
