This 3-day course will give a timely overview and update on the energy industry. The petroleum industry is only a part of the energy industry. Reducing our carbon footprint will transform the 55 trillion US dollars petroleum industry. Oil and gas supplies around half of the world’s energy demand that continues to increase, with coal providing another third. How do we meet demand in a carbon-constrained environment?
This course was originally designed to familiarize inhouse non technical people with the Petroleum industry. Then they told their friends, from managers to support staff to new entrants.
The course has proven so popular that many experienced people who are only familiar with a section of the industry were encouraged to attend by their non technical colleagues. Except for experienced process engineers, we have found that everyone benefits from the course, even specialist engineers.
Over the years we have updated the course to reflect the transition from fossil fuels in a carbon constrained world to include all sources of energy.
All new entrants, non technical and technical alike, along with more experienced people that require a broader understanding of the energy industry will benefit from this course.
Communication is all important when it comes to developing a productive culture. This course was developed simply to help staff understand what technical personnel were talking about.
It is very hard to provide good support and guidance if the people providing the advice do not understand the basics of the industry.
This course will give you a basic overview of energy production and distribution, including predictable changes as mobility becomes electrified just as heating, lighting and cooling have become electrified over the years.
The oil and gas production process continues to dominate, so we will give the majority of coverage to oil and gas, but we also consider coal, nuclear, renewables and the increasing variety of options for distribution and consumption of energy.
Starting from a conventional or unconventional oil and gas reservoir this course takes delegates through the journey of oil and gas as it is processed for transportation, refined and delivered to the consumer. The programme contexts each part of the hydrocarbon supply chain and generates familiarity with the overall industry as it changes to find its place in today’s world.
We take the comparable journey from each alternative source of energy until we arrive at the point of electricity generation and distribution considering the impact of changes in consumption method as we evolve in a carbon constrained future.
