Course Description
The Upstream Petroleum Industry is a complex mixture of technical and non-technical disciplines. A consequence is that many people employed with oil companies, and related businesses which service the oil industry, do not understand the basic fundamentals and terminology.
This popular two-day course was first designed for the Indonesian Petroleum Association in Jakarta. It is designed to familiarize non-technical personnel in the petroleum and related government, financial, legal, and service industries with the basics of the upstream (E and P) petroleum industry via slide presentations and video clips.
Learning Objectives
Non-mathematical in its treatment of technical aspects, this course will inspire understanding and confidence in company personnel wanting to learn the basics of the modern Upstream Petroleum Industry.
