Energy and Carbon Management are now seen as essential aspects of successful organizational management. The use of energy resources is fundamental to our outcomes, however often little time is given to its management and control even though the pressures are ever-present to reduce organizational costs and usage of resources plus minimization of perceived environmental impact.
Energy Management, on a day by day basis, is neither overly complex nor difficult once the necessary practices and methodologies, suitable for the organization have been learned and applied.

The business of oil and gas is multifaceted, technically complex, highly capital intensive, and often confronted with potential risks and uncertainties. Today’s petroleum industry is dealing with ever-increasing levels of complexity, price volatility, and competition. The objective of this course is to provide the participants with extensive exposure to the many complex management issues presently confronting the Upstream and Downstream Petroleum Industry and to strengthen their understanding to manage the business successfully employing the latest innovative technologies. The drop in the price of oil impacts negatively on the Upstream but enhances the profitability of Downstream operations as Refinery margins improve with cheaper feedstock. Furthermore, the Integration of refining and petrochemicals to achieve greater efficiencies is yet another critical factor in the business. Managing integrated Upstream and Downstream businesses with technically intensive areas such as, exploration, drilling, production, refining, petrochemicals, sales, distribution, and trading of oil, gas and refined products require several cross-functional skills that are essential to this competitive industry. All these multi-functional skills and business practices are seamlessly covered in this training course
Modern fluid flow control techniques in fluid systems that are encountered in the process and chemical industry, involve the control of flow rate; measurements of pressure and temperature; and, other quantities at upstream and downstream locations. They also involve a means for enabling the passing of maximum flow rate in case of emergencies. Fluid movers such as pumps and compressors of various designs have their own flow control devices for regulating flow rates, pressures, and in some cases, motor loads (variable speed motors or variable speed couplings). Control valves play a major role in fluid flow control. They are used for pressure reduction, control of delivery flow rates, back pressure control, pressure relief, etc.
Identifying and managing risks to owners and contractors in a way that both parties are happy with the project's conclusion is one of the main purposes of contracts. While a contract cannot, by itself, "make risk go away," it may and should identify the risks, as well as specify who is in charge of managing each risk individually and what would happen if the risk materialized.
