Participants

All Petrogenium courses can be tailored for awareness/inexperienced staff, for intermediate and for experienced personnel. Furthermore courses can be customized for a specific refinery, plant or unit. The option for post-course consultancy/help-desk support is also available.

Participants may include: the course is ideally suited for anyone who needs a better understanding of how the world of crude oil works. It is particularly useful for people involved with the crude oil supply chain (Traders, Schedulers, Economists, Modelers, Crude Unit Engineers, etc.).  It can also be appropriate for additional roles (Upstream, Process Engineering, Laboratory, etc.) that need and use knowledge concerning crude oil characterization and how that characterization is utilized for decisions within Refining.
