Introduction:

The global oil and gas industry is under sweeping changes due to international pricing competition and with the dynamics of the industry-changing, with aging asset infrastructure and the need to decommission equipment in a safe and environmentally friendly way. However as well as aging infrastructure, there is also an aging workforce that is leaving the industry and taking valuable knowledge and expertise with it. With the industry in need of a new workforce to take it strongly into the future, this clear practical and exciting course gives you the foundation knowledge to help you with your oil and gas industry career

Targeted Groups:

Anyone wishing to gain an overview or basic understanding of oil and gas, the industry, or its operations. This includes, but is not limited to, anyone new to the oil and gas industry, contractors working with clients in the industry, or anyone within a non-technical role in the industry who is seeking a greater understanding of operations
