The power behind PetroSkills is the alliance itself.

PetroSkills was created in 2001 when BP, Shell and OGCI aligned their training experience and resources for the purpose of offering important, non-unique training. Since then the alliance has grown with the addition of Halliburton, Saudi Aramco, Occidental, ConocoPhillips, Chevron, Repsol YPF, Marathon, ENI Exploration & Production, TTG Systems, John M. Campbell, and University of Trinidad and Tobago and as members, and has broadened the alliance into a worldwide energy industry benchmark for technical skills training.

Member company subject matter experts direct and maintain detailed competency maps for each petroleum discipline, resulting in an operator’s ‘shared viewpoint’ of the skills required to perform at different levels within each field. PetroSkills’ training courses and work experiences are then developed to deliver the competencies outlined on these maps, and are continually improved and renewed to stay current with industry trends, technology and demands. The alliance enhances this value by making the training available on a more convenient and frequent basis across the globe.

Competency Based.

PetroSkills is a unique competency-based training program - not just a collection of courses. Course content is based on detailed skill and competency maps developed with our member companies. Each discipline is detailed through these competency skill maps to ensure that professionals receive the skills they need at their individual level and put them on the right track for advancement. Another feature of the competency maps is that they are available. To individuals and companies via a web-based Competency Analysis Tool (CAT). The CAT allows professionals to track their development, determine what skills they need, and create a customized plan to fill those learning gaps.

Practical. Real-World. Business-Relevant.

Practicality sets us apart. This competency-focused learning delivers the skills needed to be successfully linked to the technology needs of operating companies and industry professionals. Our goal is that after attending a PetroSkills course, the professionals return to their workplace and immediately apply the skills learned to create value.

Quality Courses. Quality Instructors.

PetroSkills' coursework is reviewed and strengthened by each of its partner companies. The member curriculum advisors and the PetroSkills Board must approve the course, ensuring practical, up-to-date relevant training. The same is true for the instructors that teach the courses - they must be approved by the PetroSkills Board and member curriculum advisors.

Convenient and Frequent.

Convenient and frequent delivery is a key part of the PetroSkills philosophy. By presenting courses near to the client on a shared basis, we keep travel and other costs as low as possible - while still delivering an industry directed and quality assured program worldwide. In addition to teaching hundreds of sessions in dozens of cities each year, PetroSkills will bring any of its courses to you on an in-house basis worldwide.
