Organisational Impact

It’s well known that competency of the organization employees determines its growth.

• Excellent opportunity to expand the knowledge base of the trained employees which positively will impact on their work
• Employees gain more skills; they tend to immediately apply them to their role
• If employees feel that they are growing and learning in their job, they are more likely to stay at their company (more stability)
• It makes a business / or organization attractive to prospective employees

Personal Impact

• The employee will be competent to handle surface facilities equipments operational tasks
• Competent employees will safe time & effort by taking better actions in the right time to solve his operation problems
• The employees will better understand their job which resulted in more satisfaction
• If employees have some weaknesses in some work skills it should be improved
• Training should guarantee better performance for employees

By the end of this BTS training course, participants will have learned and experienced practical applications of:

• Recognize the theory of crude oil formation, accumulation & production
• Understand the Crude Oil compositions & Characteristics
• Practical understanding of field treating facilities fundamental
• The properties and behavior of crude oil that govern production processing operations
• Learn techniques of Field processes for treating and conditioning full well stream production for sales or final disposition including separation, dehydration, desalting stabilization, storage & Loading
• Gaining good understanding of the purpose and internal workings of all types of surface facilities and treating equipment

This BTS training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:
