📌 General Introduction

Utilities and technical services in oil facilities are the backbone that ensures the continuity of operations with high efficiency.

They encompass systems such as power generation and distribution, water treatment, steam production, compressed air, and waste management, in addition to maintenance and technical support services.

These utilities are not merely supportive functions; they are strategic elements that directly impact productivity, safety, and environmental sustainability.

Any disruption in managing these utilities can lead to operational downtime or significant economic losses, making their proper understanding and management a critical necessity in the oil and gas industry.

The Utilities and Technical Services in Oil Facilities workshop, delivered over ten intensive days, is designed to provide participants with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in managing and operating utilities and technical services within oil facilities.

The program combines academic foundations with applied training, focusing on modern technologies in utility operations, energy management, preventive maintenance, and global case studies.
