Course Summary
Oil and gas facilities managers are required to consider, not just the production of their products, but also the environment, resources and tools that are required to get the end result.
Water treatment, surface coverage, and the handling of chemicals and emulsions are top priorities to ensure a quality product. Facilities managers also need to cover the health and safety and practical elements of production to support their employees.
In this modern day, technology-based solutions are the way forward for many organisations. It’s important to understand the most up-to-date ways to identify and mitigate risks, to train employees on the importance of safety procedures, and to monitor the performance of machinery and transportation.
The refinement of operations using adequate facilities management tools within this industry is essential to increase profits, secure contracts, and develop a positive reputation for future business relationships and partnerships.
- To develop a good working knowledge of oil and gas industry processes.
- To create risk management procedures based on your current operation.
- To work with new innovative technology which will form the future of your facility.
- To appreciate new gas and oil treatment technology to secure a better product.
- To train and develop your workforce to utilise the facility in a safe and secure manner.
- To understand crude oil refining processes and monitor changes.
- To familiarise yourself with gas treatment procedures including drilling and offshore concerns.
This course is designed for anyone responsible for maintaining oil and gas production facilities and understanding the health and safety regulations and impacts on the industry. It would be most beneficial for:
- Facilities Managers
- Business Owners
- Operational Chemists
- Project Managers
- Engineers
- Technicians
- Risk Assessors
- Health & Safety Operatives
- Sales Consultants
- Account Managers
- Maintenance Specialists
- Facility Inspectors
This course uses a variety of adult learning techniques to aid full understanding and comprehension. Participants will review videos and documentation to develop an understanding of a variety of different petroleum sites and facilities and develop an accurate picture of the operational aspects which helps them to run smoothly.
Group discussions will be held in order to uncover potential risks and problem areas and create a decision tree of potential solutions and ideas to aim for risk mitigation and continuous improvement. Participants will be introduced to new technologies in the industry and will create project maps to see the benefits of implementing these technologies and changes throughout their own organisation.
