Introduction:

The oil and gas industry is multidimensional, technically challenging, capital-intensive, and frequently faced with unknowns and hazards. The complexity, price volatility, and competitiveness facing the petroleum business today are all on the rise. This course's main goals are to expose participants to a wide range of complex management issues that the upstream and downstream petroleum industries are currently dealing with and to improve their comprehension of how to successfully manage a business while utilizing cutting-edge innovative technologies.

Oil's price decline has a detrimental effect on upstream operations, but it improves the profitability of downstream activities since cheaper feedstock increases refinery profits. Another crucial aspect of the company is the integration of petrochemicals and refining to obtain higher efficiency.

Managing integrated Upstream and Downstream businesses with technically intensive areas such as, exploration, drilling, production, refining, petrochemicals, sales, distribution, and trading of oil, gas and refined products require several cross-functional skills that are essential to this competitive industry. All these multi-functional skills and business practices are seamlessly covered in this training course
