Course description
The world's long-term economic development depends on the existence of efficient, innovative and creative energy and resources industries. These, in turn, rely on individuals who possess a sound grasp of their legal, economic, technical and policy backgrounds.
The International Petroleum Management course is designed to help participants to become knowledgeable managers in a position to advise how best a company can move forward in a particular aspect of the business. Unlike the engineering in the subject, a management programme will see you learn about topics such as accounting, economics and law within modules on logistics, project management and strategic management.
This 10-day International Petroleum Management training Course has been designed to enable participants to learn more about oil & gas production technologies, the chemistry of petroleum and the refining processes, the oil & gas exports and imports business, and best business practices.
