Course Title: Certification in Oil & Gas Technology and Management
Duration: 6 months (24 weeks), blended learning with weekend workshops
This comprehensive certification is designed for engineers, quantity surveyors and project managers involved in oil-and-gas construction and operations. Over 15 modules—each with three focused submodules—you’ll gain the technical know-how, commercial insight and best-practice tools to plan, execute and maintain world-class projects.
Who Should Enroll
-
Civil, mechanical, electrical and instrumentation engineers transitioning into upstream, midstream or downstream roles
-
Quantity surveyors responsible for cost estimates, value engineering and budget control on complex oil-and-gas schemes
-
Project and construction managers seeking to sharpen their scheduling, contract-management and risk-mitigation skills
Course Duration & Structure
-
Total Contact Hours: 180 hours
-
Self-Study & Assignments: 120 hours
-
Workshops & Case Discussions: 60 hours (spread over 12 weekend sessions)
-
Capstone Project: 6 weeks of guided, hands-on work
Each week combines 3 hours of instructor-led virtual or in-person sessions with 2 hours of self-study and exercises. The final 6 weeks are dedicated to a practical capstone, where you’ll scope, model and present a real-world oil-and-gas project.
Why This Training Matters
-
Bridging Theory & Practice
You’ll move beyond textbooks—drawing on case studies from India’s ONGC fields, GAIL’s processing hubs and ADNOC’s Gulf platforms. Civil-works take-offs, risk registers and budget roll-ups you develop here can be applied immediately on your site. -
Holistic Skillset
From seismic-survey basics (Module 2) to turnaround-management planning (Module 13), you’ll master the full project life cycle. You’ll learn to translate geoscience insights into drill-pad take-offs, and to align module-load-out civils with marine-spread schedules. -
Commercial Acumen
Modules on cost estimation, fiscal regimes and oil-trading risk (Modules 10 & 7) show how your civil-works quantities fit into economic models and contract negotiations—ensuring you can defend budgets and accelerate approvals. -
Safety, Compliance & Sustainability
With dedicated HSE training (Module 8) and community-engagement best practices (Module 10.3), you’ll build projects that meet stringent environmental standards and earn local trust. -
Future-Ready Perspective
You’ll explore predictive-maintenance analytics (Module 9.2), energy-transition integration (Module 9.3) and digital-oilfield monitoring (Module 9.1) so your civil scopes support tomorrow’s low-carbon and condition-based approaches.

Sample Learning Activities
-
Hands-On Take-Off Exercise: Estimate concrete volumes, rebar tonnage and contingency for a pipeline crossing drilling island—then compare your BOQ to industry benchmarks.
-
Budget & Cash-Flow Workshop: Build a detailed cost roll-up for a gas-processing train, run sensitivity scenarios on feedstock price and schedule slippage.
-
HSE Tabletop Drill: Lead an incident-investigation simulation for a refueling spill, draft your corrective action plan and associated civil-works (spill berms, drainage upgrades).
-
Digital Monitoring Demo: Review real-time wellhead pressure data and plan a predictive maintenance campaign—sizing sensor-mount pads and access platforms.
-
Capstone Presentation: Pitch your project to a mock steering committee, defend your cost estimates, schedule and risk-mitigation civils.
Career Impact
-
Engineers gain credibility by coupling technical designs with bankable civil-works estimates and rigorous cost controls.
-
Quantity Surveyors become strategic partners—able to translate field data into robust budgets and to influence project economics.
-
Project Managers sharpen their decision-making by linking contract terms, procurement strategies and on-site schedule controls to tangible site works.
Graduates leave with a professional certificate demonstrating mastery of both the discipline and the commercial context—opening doors to senior roles in EPC firms, operators, engineering consultancies and joint-venture management teams.
