ABOUT THE COURSE

Crude Oil is the most important natural resource of the industrialized nations. It can generate heat, drive machinery and fuel vehicles and airplanes.  Its components are used to manufacture almost all chemical products, such as plastics, detergents, paints, and even medicines. As it is such an important resource it is very important to expand our technical ability to discover new sources, new Technologies in Manufacturing Crude Oil and extend the production lives of existing oil fields.
