Practical Simulator Course
HSE Simulation in Oil and Gas Production
Build practical judgement in production HSE scenarios by identifying hazards, selecting controls and reviewing responses to abnormal operating conditions.

Course Overview
Uses production scenarios to examine hazards, preventive controls and responses to abnormal conditions. Simulation supports discussion of how operational decisions affect health, safety and environmental risk.
