Oil and Gas Podcast

Last week we published the first 3 podcasts in our Oil 101 series. They covered the basics of Upstream, Midstream and Downstream and are a great accompaniment to our Oil 101 e-learning modules.

This week we drill deeper into the Upstream segment of the oil and gas industry with podcasts discussing the 3 main functions of Upstream – Exploration, Drilling and Production. We’ll also include a link to the Introduction to Upstream in case you missed it.

Enjoy!
