About the programme
Course Overview
Crude oil and product quality assessment is a vital process in the energy industry, directly influencing the economic value of crude oil and its suitability for refining and production.
The quality of crude oil depends on a range of physical and chemical properties such as density, viscosity, sulfur content, and impurities, all of which affect refining efficiency and the yield of petroleum products.
Similarly, assessing the quality of refined products such as gasoline, diesel, and lubricants is essential to ensure compliance with international specifications, safety standards, and environmental regulations.
The Crude Oil and Product Quality Assessment workshop, delivered over ten intensive days, is designed to provide participants with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in evaluating crude oil and petroleum products using advanced laboratory and analytical techniques.
The program emphasizes crude oil characterization, product testing, quality management systems, and global case studies.
This workshop offers a unique opportunity for engineers, chemists, and industry professionals to strengthen their expertise, improve operational performance, and ensure sustainable production.
