Advanced Petroleum Refining: Planning and Process Optimization
Sector:
Oil & Gas – General
Technical Focus Area:
Refining & Downstream Optimization (REF)
About the Course
The Advanced Petroleum Refining: Planning and Process Optimization course provides a deep, comprehensive understanding of how modern refineries operate, how they can be optimized for maximum economic return, and how to adapt to rapidly evolving market and regulatory conditions. It covers not only the technical aspects of refining—such as process unit operations, feedstock selection, product blending, and energy efficiency—but also strategic and economic considerations that drive profitability.
Participants will explore the end-to-end planning process, from crude oil acquisition to product delivery, with a focus on integrating operational realities into long-term strategies. Through real-world examples and case studies, attendees will learn how to apply optimization techniques, utilize refinery linear programming models, and evaluate the impact of crude quality, market trends, and environmental constraints. By combining technical insight with strategic foresight, this course prepares professionals to make informed, profitable, and sustainable decisions in refinery planning and operations.
Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand refinery configurations, process flows, and product slates.
- Apply planning tools and techniques to optimize refinery economics.
- Analyze feedstock options and their impact on refinery yields and profitability.
