This course provides opportunities to apply the tools, techniques and management systems of environmental management in petrochemicals industries. Participants work as a member of a team of environmental specialists to develop and improve the Environmental Management System and environmental performance of a fictitious but highly realistic case study. The course is designed to introduce participants to a range of environmental challenges, including policy development, conducting environmental reviews, tackling environmental issues including waste management, energy efficiency, pollution control and emergency planning, environmental monitoring and becoming an “agent for change” in their own organisations. During this course participants will learn about Effective application of Environmental Management Systems, Assessing environmental impact, Environmental risk management, Developing environmental improvement programs, Pollution control, Emergency preparedness and response, Environmental communication, Environmental performance monitoring, Environmental auditing, Environmental reporting and Management review.

This course presents a holistic approach to flow assurance. The course will introduce technologies, workflows and their deployment for the identification, characterization, and management of flow impediments, such as slugging and precipitation of organic and inorganic solids. The course will present best practices and fit-for-purpose design solutions for minimizing the risk of flow stoppage while transporting hydrocarbons from “Pore to Sales Meter”. The principles will be demonstrated using field examples from around the world.

The course is designed to cover the fundamentals of Process Safety for all staff levels in a high hazard installation. It will benefit anyone who requires to understand the essentials of process safety including managers, supervisors, technical, engineering, HSE, maintenance and operational staff who are associated with the design, construction, operation, maintenance and governance of high hazard installations in the upstream and downstream oil, gas and petrochemical industry. 

This course presents an overview of the Petroleum Industry from the point-of-view of the Asset Management Cycle. By explaining the real-life steps involved in the creation and exploitation of oil and gas fields, participants will be given introduction to the exciting processes which drive industry and create new value. Emphasis is on Onshore as well as Offshore projects, including both large and small fields. Each step of the cycle is introduced with a summary of relevant technologies, economics, manpower requirements, importance of training and competency assessment, as well as relevant case histories. Both conventional and unconventional oil and gas prospects are included.

The financial dynamic to successful project delivery lies at the very heart of effective project management. A project is a complex series of interactions between time; people and resources - their allocation and utilization. Project Cost Scheduling highlights and informs the participant of how to manage the project cost function - its dynamics and components - leading to an enhanced understanding and application of techniques that will contribute directly to more efficient project management processes. The course contains a significant element of practical exercise that builds daily, allowing participants to grasp the inter-relationships between cost; project lifecycle and operational activities, thereby imparting clarity to the whole process of successful project delivery.
