Over two days you will gain a comprehensive understanding of the resource base, recovery techniques, upgrading, refining, and transportation. You will also learn about government policy, industry economics, and the technological and geopolitical forces that determine oil sands development. All of this information is included in the detailed course binder you will take home at the end of the course. This Oak Leaf course provides participants with context and tools to understand the industry.

Our goal at Oak Leaf Training is to make complex issues and concepts understandable.
