Course Overview
Deferred maintenance and deferred decisions on refining technology and petrochemical economics both accrue interest. The energy transition has not removed the need for rigour in petrochemical economics; it has added to it. The programme works equally well for those formalising this part of energy and hydrocarbon operations for the first time and those improving an existing approach. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on refining technology and petrochemical economics and revise it on evidence. Organisations that document this aspect of energy and hydrocarbon operations properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about petrochemical economics in their own setting. The programme is built to be used, and every section of refining technology and petrochemical economics it covers ends in something applicable. Buying a tool rarely fixes petrochemical economics; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make the energy and hydrocarbon operations capability sustainable.
