Master the technical foundations, economics and real-world operations of petroleum refining.
This comprehensive 5-day training course offers an in-depth exploration of petroleum refining, from crude oil chemistry to advanced refining technologies and economic analysis. Designed for professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of the refining business, the course blends theoretical knowledge with practical application. Participants will engage with real-life case studies and gain valuable insights into modern refining techniques, process interrelationships, and the economics that drive refinery decision-making. Led by a globally recognised expert in refinery operations and chemical engineering, this course delivers essential tools to navigate and excel in today’s competitive refining environment.
Why this course is important
The refining industry faces increasing pressure to optimise operations, maximise yield, and align with market demand—all while ensuring safety, environmental compliance, and economic viability. Understanding the full scope of refining—from crude oil characteristics to supporting operations like hydrogen production and sulphur recovery—is critical for professionals driving efficiency and innovation. This course empowers delegates to make better operational decisions, manage refining risks, and enhance overall plant performance.
Who should attend
This course is tailored to a broad spectrum of professionals, including:
- Refining technologists and chemical engineers
- Refinery operations personnel, shift supervisors, and operatives
- Oil and gas sector managers and project engineers
- Corporate planners, investment analysts, and energy-sector directors
- Professionals serving the refining industry (e.g., bankers, legal advisors, analysts, supply planners)
What you will learn
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand crude oil origin, assay, and its complex chemistry
- Analyse the interrelated processes within a refinery
- Apply knowledge of atmospheric and vacuum distillation, delayed and fluid coking, visbreaking, and other thermal processes
- Gain familiarity with fluid catalytic cracking, hydrocracking, isomerisation, alkylation, and hydrotreating
- Manage supporting operations including hydrogen production, gas plants, acid gas treatment, and blending
- Evaluate refining economics, cost estimation, and product yield optimisation
- Integrate technical learning with economic thinking using real-world case studies
