Oil and Gas Training for Different Sectors

The three major components in the oil and gas sector are the upstream, the midstream, and the downstream. Oil and gas training programs in the upstream sector deal with all activities leading up to and including the operation of wells bringing crude oil and natural gas to the surface. This includes exploration, drilling, economics, production, and OPEC.

Often combined with the downstream component, midstream operations describe the transportation of crude or refined products. Professional training related to this sector cover a multitude of highly specific skills, usually regarding specific technologies related to pipelines, pumps, and artificial lift systems to name a few. Several critical links in the supply chain are also represented in this field.

The downstream sector represents the final phase of development before the petroleum product touches consumers, usually in the form of gasoline. Training in this area covers a range of subjects related to oil refining processes, such as hydro sulfurization and product development of everything from jet fuel to asphalt. .
