Training on crude oil separation and Petroleum Refineries, process engineer course
Duration: 3 Months Course fee: 36,000/-
Overview:
Petroleum engineering is the application of chemistry, physics, math, geology, and engineering principles to discover a cost-effective way to identify promising areas for exploration, access this natural resource, and refine it into desirable products. Chemists in the oil and petroleum industry work with crude oil and the products derived from it right from the identification of the Oil well till the getting of the end product.
The industry can be divided into two major components: upstream and downstream. The upstream takes care of the exploration and production of hydrocarbon, i.e. crude oil and gas, whereas downstream industry refines the produced hydrocarbon into usable products such as naphtha, kerosene, aviation turbine fuel, gasoline, diesel & LPG and markets these refined products. The integrated oil and gas organizations are involved in both components of the petroleum industry. This industry needs chemical engineers, organic, analytical, inorganic, physical chemists, biochemists etc

Jobs available in Downstream technologies
Refining
Oil refineries cost billions of pounds to build and maintain, and run 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Because they’re such an expensive and essential part of the oil and gas industry, hiring the right people is of paramount importance. In fact, it’s estimated that somewhere in the region of 1.5 million people work within refining worldwide.
Processing
Jobs within the processing part of the oil and gas industry are also primarily found within oil refineries. However, roles vary greatly depending on what material is being produced. Processing jobs include Process Engineer, Plant Operator, Product Controller and Turnaround (TAR) Manager.
