Oil and gas are amongst the most important resources we have. Apart from providing the majority of our energy, petroleum is used to create countless products upon which we rely in every part of our lives. It is not surprising, then, that the oil and gas industry is a principle driver of the global economy. The systems and processes used to produce and commercialise oil and gas are complex, involving large amounts of capital, state-of-the-art technology and vast numbers of skilled personnel serving supply chains that span the globe.

This distance learning course provides a comprehensive grounding in all aspects of the oil and gas industry. After a broad overview of the distribution of petroleum resources and the organisations that constitute the industry, it introduces the techniques used to detect and assess the commercial viability of deposits. Next, it looks at the extraction process, and the technologies used to process, store, transport and refine oil and gas. Finally, it explores the processes of selling, trading and marketing gas and petroleum products, before finishing with a survey of environmental and geopolitical risks and opportunities, and an assessment of the industry’s future.

With the flexibility of learning in your own time and environment, you can be part of a broad range of people who will benefit from studying this course. If you are just starting in the industry, it will provide a comprehensive introduction to every aspect of oil and gas.

Perhaps you already work in one segment of the value chain, and would like to gain a more global understanding of your industry, or are changing roles and seek a deeper knowledge of an unfamiliar field. People working in associated industries such as consultants, lawyers and policy-makers will also benefit from a clear overview of this complex and far-reaching industry.

Whatever your motivation, the unique blend of self-directed learning, expert tutorial support and peer interaction via a dedicated online forum will ensure a thorough, accurate and up-to-date knowledge of oil and gas fundamentals, wherever you are in the world.
