Introduction

The oil and gas industry are a global business with a commitment to explore, produce, transport, and sell crude oil and natural gas from wells to end-users. To do this, oil and gas companies use a large variety of equipment that requires a supply of petroleum products. Oil and natural gas are pumped from the earth into a gathering system, and then sent through a network of pipelines to destination points where it is processed for use.

Natural gas is usually moved through pipelines or Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) tankers, while crude oil is often transported in mobile units called tankers before reaching its final destination by pipeline or ship. This IRES training course will provide you with a thorough grasp and knowledge of Downstream Oil and Gas Digital Transformation. You will also find out how the transportation industry is regulated.

Participants will learn skills and experience that will aid in their career development and advancement. This course will work on cases of different customers that have implemented digital oilfield solutions, trying to find out patterns of success factors for this market.
