Advance Diploma in Petroleum Refining and Petrochemical Technology

India is one of the world’s fastest-growing economies, and with that growth arise an increase in energy demand. We are the world’s third-largest energy consumers, with the largest share of energy demand increases over the next two decades based on petroleum and petrochemicals industries. The growing significance of the petroleum sector has resulted in the expanding demand for skilled personnel with excellent knowledge for navigating this field. Usha Martin University’s Advanced Diploma in Petroleum Refining and Petrochemical Technology course is meticulously designed to produce a competent workforce. The course focuses on the deep study of mining oils, such as petroleum and its by-products, and refining them for various uses. In this one-year program, students are equipped with an in-depth understanding of petroleum exploration and refinery along with the significant processes. Special attention has been placed on vital concepts of the Petroleum Industry which include petroleum geology, petroleum exploration, production engineering, refining technology, and petrochemical technology.

Due to the rapid growth, the petroleum industry has a lot of opportunities for engineering graduates. Along with the Diploma level program, UMU offers two top-notch undergraduate degree programs in the Petroleum refining and petrochemical domain. First is B.Tech in Petrochemical Engineering, which is a four-year undergraduate course in the engineering stream. The course intends to provide basic knowledge on the production of hydrocarbons, petroleum refining processes, and other petrochemical producing operations and offer practical exposure to petroleum extraction and by-product formation. While second is B.Tech Petroleum Refining and Petrochemicals Engineering are is a four-year undergraduate degree that covers a broad range of topics related to petroleum refining such as the technique of extracting oil and other components, the compositions of various petroleum products, etc. These three courses are the most popular and preferred engineering programs for students who are willing to pursue a fruitful career in the petroleum sector. Students can enrol in any of these courses to excel in their careers in the petroleum industry.

Introduction to the petroleum industry, petroleum exploration, crude processing technologies, upgradation processes, refinery characterization, hydro-processes, and heavy end-processes, etc, are covered in Diploma In petroleum Refining whereas, for petrochemical technology, UMU covers topics like C1 petrochemicals, C2 petrochemicals, C3 & C4 petrochemicals, aromatics, and polymers. The curriculums of all three programs are strategically designed to provide worthwhile industrial exposure and hands-on practical training to ensure their avenues for quality placements and contribution to global development.

Advance Diploma in Petroleum Refining and petrochemical technology is a one-year online program, divided into two semesters. This program has been designed to create professionals with specialized knowledge of techniques and procedures followed in the gas or petroleum industry. After successful completion of the course, graduates can enjoy a plethora of employment opportunities in Oil, Gas, and petrochemicals industry with entry-level job opportunities, research firms associated with Oil and Gas, Chemicals, Renewal energy or as a Process Operator, field operator, energy technician in Petroleum Refinery and petrochemical industries in private as well as government sectors such as Reliance Refinery (Jamnagar), Essar (Jamnagar), Cochin Refinery, ONGC, and OIL.
