The Hydrocarbon Exploration And Production Adventure

Course overview

What methods of exploration are there?

The foundation of technological advancements and historical advantages to man up to the present day is hydrocarbons. Geophysicists and geologists explore for hydrocarbons to make use of potential subsurface supplies of crude oil and natural gas. Drilling exploratory wells and identifying viable global locations are the first steps in such exploration. In the oil industry, production, refining, and transportation are frequently carried out after discovery.

What exactly are exploration and production?

Based on the anticipated production profile, development planning and production are created. This is dependent on the reservoir’s driving force mechanism. Due to the requirement to balance petroleum operations and environmental effects, the environmental implications of these processes are extremely difficult to manage. Utilizing environmentally friendly production techniques that are also cost-effective is currently the main objective of exploration and refining corporations.

This Training Bee training course focuses on hydrocarbon exploration and associated facilities in production processes to provide you an integrated picture of how petroleum refineries produce oil and gas. All phases of an oil and gas field will be accessible to delegates. Drilling, development, production, and decommissioning are a few of these. You would learn the practical skills necessary to work with assurance in the oil and gas industry through this Training Bee course.
