Fundamentals of Oil and Gas Production Virtual Training

This course is a broad introduction to oil and gas development. It conveys a background understanding of the origins of oil and gas, how subsurface developments are decided and how these link with the selection of the surface facilities development.
Primary surface oil and gas production systems are covered including export systems from pipelines to oil terminals and tankers.
