Crude Oil Quality Control Training Course
Introduction:
Crude oil, as the largest traded commodity globally, requires proper sampling, analysis, and reporting adhering to established standards. This is particularly crucial given the volatility in pricing and the increasing presence of synthetic, high, and extra heavy crude oils in the market. Whether crude oil is destined for immediate refining or long-term storage, it is of utmost importance to follow recognized procedures and standards for sampling and analysis throughout its lifecycle, from production to transportation, interim storage, and eventual refining.
Accurate and reliable analytical data serve as the foundation for decisions regarding the effective processing of a specific crude oil and its potential to yield the desired product range. These data also play a vital role in engineering personnel's planning of refinery upgrades. This concise yet comprehensive course aims to provide an overview and introduction to oil and gas operations for individuals new to the industry. It incorporates videos and interactive sessions to explain and discuss the impacts of the oil and gas industry, as well as anticipated industry requirements in the future.
