SME: Noman Farooq

This course is designed to convey the basics of the oil and gas industry to the Construction Professional. Oil and gas operations have a sensitive and critical importance as it deals with very high pressure, temperature, and extreme natural conditions. So for a new person in this field, it is essential to have sound theoretical knowledge about oil and gas operations before getting started.
Course Objectives
At the conclusion of this course, you will be able to:

· Describe the importance of hydrocarbons and their basic structure and bonding.
· Discuss how hydrocarbons form thousands of meters below land and sea.
· Express how sound waves are used to detect the presence of hydrocarbons in layers of earth.
· Describe the different types of oil and gas wells.
· Explain different techniques to evaluate formation parameters.
· Classify oil and gas distribution among different categories.
· Identify how to select and prepare a drill site to start the drilling operation for oil and gas exploration.
· Explain the different rig components and their functionality.
· Identify different offshore drilling units.
· Describe the responsibilities of a rig crew.
· Explain blowout and how blowout preventers (BOPs) work to save a rig from formation pressure.
