Overview

Facilities for the Operations and Maintenance of Oil and Gas Processing   

 About the Course

 The common production / processing facilities in the areas where the course is being held determine the public course's content. There are courses with an emphasis on gas or LNG, gas or expander plants, or oil, water, or gas. Keep in mind that the North Sea content also includes generated water treatment. The course can be altered without charging extra to accommodate customer demands.
