Programme Details
There is an opportunity for Electrical and Instrumentation (E & I) technicians, technologists, and engineers in the oil and gas industry. This is due to an increasing need for higher technology methods of obtaining and processing oil and gas as it is a finite declining resource. The technical challenges of extracting oil and gas are becoming ever more demanding, with the increasing emphasis on more marginal fields and previously inaccessible zones such as deep oceans, Polar regions, Falkland Islands and Greenland.
This advanced diploma provides a practical treatment of electrical power systems and instrumentation within the oil, gas, petrochemical, and offshore industries. You will find this course beneficial in improving your understanding, skills, and knowledge of the whole spectrum of activities ranging from basic E & I engineering to advanced practice including hazardous areas, data communications along with a vast array of E & I equipment used in an oil and gas environment.
