Crude Oil; Refinery, Processing,

Specification & Analysis
Course description: the course covers major components of crude oil refinery and
processing technology. Its aim is to provide participants with a clear picture of refinery
and processing by developing an understanding of interpretation in chemical reactions
and processing in all refining related to evaluating analysis results and in understanding
laboratory results deviation limits for crude oil and petroleum products

Course objectives: the objectives of the course are to provide a theoretical basis and
PROFILE
practical information on crude oil processing, with emphasis on the basic aspects of the
✍ Professional chemist in Oil & Gas industry,
design and operating conditions and troubleshooting plant, The course is designed to
joined Suez Oil Processing Company in Egypt since
1999 as HSE officer then holding position Chemist provide the participants with complete knowledge about petroleum products specification
till I become Assistant General Manager

I have experience with oil & gas industry, lab Who should attend? course designed for engineers, chemists, and technicians
management, ISO 17025, statistical analysis,
handling of Hazard chemicals, experience with all who work in refinery and, processing.
laboratory activity and analysis include working
with samples of water, gas, crude oil, petroleum
products with classical and instrumental methods
according to ASTM, IP, UOP, ISO standard
methods. Also, I have I experience with crude
oil processing and water treatment,

I work part time as Oil & Gas Instructor for

training courses, I developed and delivered
various technical courses and programs in
several countries, and a lot of more........
