Course Overview
Downstream processes are the steps that are taken to turn oil and gas into the final product. Downstream oil and gas activities include crude oil refinement, natural gas processing and purification, and marketing and distribution of goods generated from these basic resources. There are a lot of obstacles in the downstream process because of rules and regulations, rival businesses, and fluctuating prices in the market. Additionally, it provides a plethora of possibilities for businesses to increase their profits in the areas of transmission, distribution, sales, and marketing.
What is the need for downstream regulations? It is widely acknowledged that the oil and gas industry is critical to the health of any economy, both now and in the future. Recent decades, however, have seen increased scrutiny of the industry due to environmental concerns such as air and water pollution, offshore legislation, and chemical management. Numerous private companies, including some very large ones with a global presence, are active in this field. These businesses are subject to both state and federal oversight. The company needs a development licence, a drilling licence, and an operating licence to commence downstream operations. State governments establish the prerequisites for obtaining these licences. Companies in the oil and gas business must adhere to several regulations and guidelines in addition to the requisite licences.
