About this course

The course places strong emphasis on system-level thinking, encouraging participants to view individual facility components as part of an integrated production network rather than isolated units. Real-world case studies drawn from a variety of operating environments are used to illustrate how advanced concepts translate into measurable performance improvements. Participants will leave with a refined ability to evaluate production systems holistically, anticipate emerging risks before they escalate, and champion continuous improvement initiatives that keep pace with evolving industry standards and technological advancement.
Designed for experienced operations professionals, this course goes beyond fundamentals to explore advanced production optimization, process control strategies, integrity management, and emerging technologies in surface facilities. Topics include production system design considerations, deferment analysis, integrated asset performance, and advanced troubleshooting methodologies. Participants will gain the tools to enhance throughput, minimize downtime, and manage complex production challenges with confidence.

Who should attend

  • Production superintendents, facility engineers, operations managers, and senior technicians with prior experience in surface production who are ready to deepen their technical and managerial expertise.
