Petroleum Engineering for Other Disciplines
Course Description
This 5-day course is intended for professionals with a non-petroleum engineering degree, who currently work in, or wish to work in, the Petroleum Industry. The course will address the story of oil from its origin to the end user. The objective is to provide an overview of the fundamental operations in exploration, drilling, production, processing, transportation, and refining of oil and gas. This is one of our longest running courses and has been delivered as an open CPD course since 2004. The course contents have been improved and revised in response to participant feedback and changes within the industry. This course could be tailored to the specific needs of the participants, as required. Please contact us if there are specific topics you would like us to include or expand on.

Professionals who wish to enhance their existing skills set to support their employment and career progression in the Oil and Gas Industry.
