Course Description
Health and Safety is the inevitable course in Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering, like many other branches. The course concentrates on the risks and hazards that are present and probable at drilling sites, production sites and refineries. Similarly, transportation of gas and petroleum via pipelines is also on the agenda. Risk evaluation for all these different sites will be realize3d within the scope of the course and relevant precautions will be forwarded to minimize the risks. Risk scales will also be discussed for determining the probability and intensity of the risks, for better understanding of necessary precautions. The students will be taken to technical field trips for on-site risk evaluation.
