Why Choose this Training Course?
Why Choose this Training Course?
Oil and gas are considered among the world's most critical resources and therefore play a pivotal role in driving the global economy. The exploration, production, refining, and distribution of oil and gas involve the most complex and capital-intensive processes and require state-of-the-art technology.
This accelerated 2-week training course has been designed to enable participants to learn more about oil & gas production technologies, the chemistry of petroleum and the refining processes, the oil & gas exports and imports business, and best business practices.
The international petroleum management training course will provide a more efficient understanding of the international oil and gas business value chain.
The delegates will also learn:
- The critical success factors of oil & gas operations – Seismic, wireline services, drilling, fracturing, well completion, production and processing for export
- Recoveries through the primary, secondary and enhanced oil recovery techniques
- Shale oil and gas production potential in different regions of the world.
- Renewable energy sources and their comparative costs
- Energy economics, project evaluation and decision-making skills
- Crude oil and gas supply, transportation, marketing, trading and storage
What are the Goals?
What are the Goals?
To provide delegates with the understanding, knowledge and strategies that oil & gas management must make for success. By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
- Have an understanding of the ways the oil & gas and energy industries have organized to operate effectively and efficiently
- Recognize the latest Game-changing technologies – seismic, well logging, horizontal drilling, fracking, gas to liquid, etc.
- Distinguish the renewable sources of energy and the future trends in Solar, Wind, Wave, Hydro, Geothermal, Nuclear, and the methodology to compare the costs of energy of each source
- Understand the benefits of integrating refineries with petrochemicals
- Gain an understanding of the ways the oil and gas industries have organized to operate effectively and efficiently
