About this course
Flare and Methane Emissions Reduction gives delegates a structured, practical understanding of sources of methane and flare emissions and measurement, detection and quantification, then builds the skills to apply flare minimisation and gas recovery, leak detection and repair programmes and regulations and reporting frameworks in real work. Technical oil and gas training covering upstream, midstream and downstream operations, integrity and production for engineers and operators. Demand for these skills is expected to rise strongly by 2027.
Sessions are led by practitioners with at least 15 years in the field, and mix short input with exercises, case studies and group work, so delegates return with methods they can use straight away.
Who should attend
Engineers, operators, supervisors and technical staff in upstream, midstream, refining and petrochemical operations. No specialist prerequisites are required for the Practitioner level; Foundation, Advanced and Executive versions are available on request.
