Training
01
Relevant Courses. Skilled Personnel. On Demand
Petrogas is a vanguard provider of customized training courses to benefit both employees and contract personnel. We deliver competence-enhancing skills for various groups of participants—leaders, managers, engineers, technicians, lawyers, economists, procurement, accounting, human resources and finance specialists; operational, administrative, and logistical personnel to foster a holistic development of individuals, teams, and entire organizations.
02
“Pre- fitted”
Our training offerings include turnkey human resource interventions such as competence assessment, talent development and progression tracking. We provide basic to advanced training suited to the types of jobs available in the oil and gas industry, the work conditions and equipment involved, and rudimentary skills such as safety practices, welding, and instrumentation. This kind of training positions local workers as ready and “pre- fitted” for the oil and gas industry.
Petrogas has a long history of providing training for every level of the Oil and Gas industry.
We are fully capable of both customized training of key individuals and small teams, as well as large-scale training of entire groups of workers on cross-cutting topics.
From field workers and laborers to technicians and engineers to managers and directors, having personnel who are adept at their jobs benefits everyone, and further drives performance and revenues. In short, training is not only necessary, but is also a fantastic investment that pays
immeasurable dividends.
Leveraging our local resources and global partnerships, Petrogas offers training courses open to the public or internal customer-specific training–delivering them within national boundaries or abroad depending on the subject matter and the need to learn from other countries’ experiences.
03
Experience Counts
Petrogas has been training oil and gas industry workers for years now. Our experience has led us to develop the most effective industry training courses and materials available, which we can be further tailored to meet your exact needs. We get you results quickly, and ensure that your personnel are ready to work.
04
Seal of Approval
For many skills, we can train workers onsite at your locale. This means you can hire locally, and very quickly have a skilled workforce that can do the jobs you need done. We have expert trainers from across the globe that will work with your people as long as necessary.
In addition, for skilled technical disciplines and specific management roles, we can provide offsite, hands-on training at partner facilities across the world including Africa, Europe and the United States. Only the “best of the best” get the Petrogas seal of approval, so if you want world-class skills for your workers, we’re the people to call.
The Promise of Tomorrow Comes from the Results We Achieve Today
Training is the cornerstone of maximum sustainability, availability, and operational excellence. Training government employees, national oil company staff, regulators, and a localized workforce benefits everyone. When the local populace shares in the benefits industry brings (in the form of jobs), companies become welcomed.
Conversely, NOT hiring/training local personnel can lead to a myriad of issues. Not only are government officials and local workers less skilled, but companies who import large scale workforces do not foster localized acceptance. In short, they are seen as outsiders, which makes doing business in the local environment much harder.
More and more, local communities and government entities will insist on localized workforces, with good reason. Petrogas has been spearheading this initiative for a decade, and we’re ready to hit the ground running and get your workers trained.

Over time, however, in order to reduce their workforce costs, international oil companies will attempt to use local employees for many drilling phase positions and most of the production phase positions, if they are available. Local workforce training programs can serve to filter in local employees that are well suited to the industry, provide them with a basic orientation to the skills required, and steer these workers towards oil and gas industry occupations that are safe, well-paying, and will keep them in the region for the long term.
Petrogas trains rig mechanics, electricians and instrumentation technicians to man the drilling rigs. These rig mechanics will eventually rise to rig roustabout, drillers and rig superintendents. Skills such as high-temperature-high-pressure pipe welding and heavy plant operation,
petroleum geosciences, petroleum geophysics, petroleum geochemistry, petroleum engineering, energy economics and modeling, accounting and auditing, licensing and contracting, revenue management and environmental management. Other skills include pipe fitting, plant air-conditioning, electricians, and boiler mechanics for construction and running of the oil and gas pipelines and processing plants.
