We teach our trainees how upstream activities in the Oil & Gas industry are involved from the preliminary exploration through to the extraction of the resource. Upstream processes can be involved in all the steps of this phase of the life cycle of the Oil & Gas industry, or may only be involved in just part of the upstream sector. Another name for the upstream oil sector, which is actually more representative of what occurs in this stage of development, is the exploration and production (E&P) sector.
We teach our trainees the fundamentals of midstream activities which include the processing, storing, transporting and marketing of oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids.
We teach our trainees how downstream operations are the processes involved in converting Oil & Gas into the finished product. These include refining crude oil into gasoline, natural gas liquids, diesel, and a variety of other energy sources.
