COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops.

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Accelerated Development Program for Young Engineers in Oil Processing. It covers the basic concepts in petroleum geology, exploration techniques and reservoir characteristics; the oil processing facilities and health, safety, and environmental (HSE) considerations in oil processing operations; the physical and chemical properties of crude oil and techniques for separating gas, oil and water mixtures; the wellhead operations, oil and gas separation, water treatment and disposal and gas conditioning and processing; the crude oil stabilization and storage; and ensuring reliable flow of hydrocarbon streams through pipelines and equipment.

During this interactive course, participants will learn the design, operation and maintenance of oil and gas pipelines and pumping stations; the tanker operations, crude oil shipping, storage tank design and operations, metering, measurement and quality control in oil processing; the pipeline integrity management and safety practices; the refining processes, distillation processes and conversion processes; the methods for treating and blending refined products and addressing safety and environmental management; the economic aspects of refining, project management basics for engineers and innovation and technology in oil processing; and the career paths in oil processing and the essential skills to develop for young engineers.
