Details
The upstream segment of the oil and gas industry also known as Exploration and Production (E&P) is probably the most recognizable stage in the crude oil lifecycle. Whether you’ve seen oil rigs, derricks on the side of the road or platforms on the ocean, those are all elements of upstream. But much of it happens underground or below sea level, far from what most people ever get to see. Not to mention the complex business and geopolitics surrounding Exploration and Production of oil and gas.
This course is the perfect introduction to the Upstream segment of the oil and gas industry. We will start with an overview of upstream and then dive into exploration, drilling and production. We will discuss characteristics of E&P, important players both on the operation and service sides of the industry, conventional and unconventional explorations and much more.
