What you will learn

In this short course, you will learn about the Upstream segment of the Oil and Gas industry through 4 modules:

  • Introduction to Upstream
  • Introduction to Exploration
  • Introduction to Drilling
  • Introduction to Production

 

Description

The upstream segment of the oil and gas industry also known as Exploration and Production (E&P) is probably the most recognizable stage in the crude oil lifecycle. Whether you’ve seen oil rigs, derricks on the side of the road or platforms on the ocean, those are all elements of upstream. But much of it happens underground or below sea level, far from what most people ever get to see. Not to mention the complex business and geopolitics surrounding Exploration and Production of oil and gas.

This course is the perfect introduction to the Upstream segment of the oil and gas industry. We will start with an overview of upstream and then dive into exploration, drilling and production. We will discuss characteristics of E&P, important players both on the operation and service sides of the industry, conventional and unconventional explorations and much more.

Prerequisite:

We assume that you have no prior knowledge of oil and gas. While you may take it as a stand alone course, it’s highly recommended that you also take the midstream and downstream courses which will help you understand where the crude goes after exploration and production.

A quiz is included at the end of the course to help you validate the knowledge gained. Upon successful completion, you will earn a certification and 1 hr Professional Development Hour (PDH).
