An Introduction and Essential Skills For Managers in the Oil & Gas Industry
Course Info
Course Summary
The oil and gas industries require a niche and tailored management style to ensure the safe discovery, processing, and distribution of fuels to consumers. This means that managers within these industries need to understand the process from start to finish, appreciate the difficulties and procedures that are required legally and grasp the risks and opportunities involved to move forward and grow.
The lifecycle of an oil and gas business requires constant review and change to keep up with demand and manage a skilled workforce that can deliver on schedule and within health and safety guidelines.
For this reason, it’s essential that managers in this industry understand not only performance management, effective targeting, and goal setting but also the intricate inner workings of the oil and gas industries to allow for effective training, constant audits, and risk assessments to aid continuous improvement and the most explorative and up-to-date technology to ensure safe and efficient fuel production.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Fully understand the responsibilities placed on management within the oil and gas industries.
- Gain further knowledge regarding the wider oil and gas industries.
- Evaluate your organisation’s current procedures and suggest changes to increase productivity and effectiveness.
