Offshore Wellhead Operations
Offshore Wellhead Operations
INTRODUCTION
The offshore operations course is designed to encompass all aspects relating to oil and gas activities. The subject matter gives a
descriptive analysis of a variety of topics such as oil and gas, locating the deposits, the layout of subsea equipment, its extraction to its production and the equipment used. The course also provides training in more recent offshore activities including wind energy.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
The offshore operations course learning structure is considered suitable for new intakes into the offshore industry and management
personnel who wish to form a broad knowledge of the many aspects within the offshore industry. The course also provides vast expert training and serves to broaden and fill in the knowledge gaps to give a better grounding to those professionals already in the industry (offshore marine crew including offshore company technical staff, suppliers, educators, trainers as well as equipment manufacturers).
