Course Description
This course provides a thorough and applied knowledge of efficient techniques, industry standards and best practices for managing waste and environmental pollution.
Who should Attend
Managers, advisors, engineers and operations staff involved in the management of environmental issues all along the lifetime of a field development: from design to operation.
What you will learn
- Understand the stakes for the Oil & Gas industry for environmental management,
- Understand contents of environmental impact assessments and mitigations (treatments)
- Identify mitigation measures, air treatment techniques, wastewater treatment, wastes treatment, soil remediation,
- Implement an oil spill contingency plan, including the combating strategy,
- Learn about requirements and techniques for remediation of operational sites,
- Select key performance indicators and set up monitoring with environmental management plans, including monitoring techniques/analysis of all emissions and environment.
