As a young and upcoming petroleum engineer, I believe a course like this will help me get a firm grasp of the industry so as to make meaningful impact.

I am grateful to Duke University, Coursera and the reputable institution that helped me financially to gain a certificate for this course.

I am compelled to express my utmost satisfaction with the experience. Throughout the duration of the course, I acquired a comprehensive understanding of the intricacies of the oil and gas industry, from exploration to production. The curriculum provided in-depth insights into technical aspects such as drilling techniques, reservoir management, and refining processes. Additionally, I developed proficiency in crucial skills including safety protocols, environmental compliance, and project management within the context of oil and gas operations. Moreover, the course fostered a deeper appreciation for the industry's complexity and the critical role it plays in global energy markets.

The course is really build well to provide the complete overview on Oil and Gas Industry and operations and is very useful to know how the Oil and Gas prices are currently being controlled. I would recommend this course for every one to go through so that they can understand importance of power industry in the current situation which the world is facing currently considering pandemic Covid 19 situation. This course will help even for all the government and corporate leaders to understand how they should manage their existing reserves of oil and gas economically to safeguard the life of the current living and will make them to plan better for future lives.

The course is very useful for me as someone who have very limited knowledge about oil and gas business and operations. The course is well organized, and the instructor is definitely a very knowledgable. The course covers the basics as well as the current issues of the oil and gas business. After completing this course, now I have clear understanding about the subject. For everyone who wants to get solid foundation knowledge about oil and gas industry, I highly recommend this course. However, prior to taking this course, I suggest he/she to read and research some resources about the subject (either from books or internet).

I loved the course, It is an amazing industry, we need it, the Professor is the best, I worked in legal and compliance for an oil and gas major so I only saw things on documents, after this course it is like I have been to the field myself! The activists should do this course so that they understand how important this industry is and it needs our support to help it be more sustainable. For my case study I profiled a company that reduces co2 emissions by 20% and is aiming at becoming Net-Zero by 2030 so there is great news there! Education Education Education not breaking things.

The "Oil & Gas Industry Operations and Markets" course is very interesting for both those who are not familiar with the world of oil and for those of us who work in this industry. I enjoyed the course, the topics, and the evaluations, which present a good challenge and an incentive to keep going. I recommend this course to everyone who has a misconception about us oil workers and the exploring companies, because extracting, producing, and processing oil is a very hard job to make everyone's life more comfortable. Thank you very much.

Very good course about the Oil and Gas Industry Operations. The professor explains the content clearly and precisely and with the help of many pictures and graphics, what has been learned is shown in each video. The course is very interesting and also intensive. The number of hours was a lot higher for me because I also made a lot of notes. The final company profile also took some time to complete. But it was all very worthwhile in terms of content. I was very interested in the topic and I am happy to have completed this course.

I found the course excellent. Its content and flow of information is very knowledgeable. This course provides valuable insights into highly complex oil gas sector integrated operations and marketing, learning on entire value chain from exploration, evaluation, production through refining, transport and markets in the exact way as the business operates.

My special thanks to Lincoln F. Pratson from Duke University for his dedicated teaching and making us learn fine points of the hydrocarbon sector operations & markets.

Although is a short course, is an excellent beginning to the oil and gas industry process, with less than 5 minutes per video, the professor explains all the concepts in an easy way, and the quizzes help to reinforce the learned concepts. With this course you can learn how the hydrocarbons are extracted from the reservoir, which characteristics defines the price of oil, natural gas and gasoline, which products are derived from petrol and the effect of crisis in one of the most profitable industry of the world.

Many thanks to Duke University and Professor Pratson for such an interesting course! It was intensive and productive for me and fullfiled all my expectations. So this course gives a student broad pattern of international oil and gas markets, supported by statistical meters. What is more it gives a broad description of oil and gas production and refinery without deeping in much chemistry and physics. The final project is also very interesting and would be a nice attachment to a person's portfolio.

In my opinion the course was well developed because it is an overview about what is and means the oil and gas industry from the main characteristics of the petroleum, its extraction until the comecialization but at the same time the course had enough time to talk about the legal and economical structure of an oil and gas company.

In a few word, this is a pretty well introductory course in this area. Now, it is importan create another course more specific.

Thanks to educate and my best regards.

Excellent coverage of the entire value chain in the oil and gas industry. The course covers both the technological and the commercial aspects related to oil and gas. Additionally, the course also provide an overview of the future prospects of the oil and gas industry. The peer review assignment is one of its kind as it involves a extensive research about the company and while reviewing your peers work you get information about a lot of oil and gas companies spread across different geographies.

The videos were concise, well explained and supported with graphs and visits to sights or showcasing of shale rocks. I enjoyed this course and finished it in less than a week!

J'ai vraiment aimé le cours dans son ensemble et les méthodes de corrections. Je souhaiterais que la réception des certificats se face le plutôt. En outre il faudrait revoir le design du certificat qui est trop plat,pas attrayant,ensuite le certificat ne porte qu'une seule signature,celle de l'instructeur. Il n'y'a aucune signature et aucun logo ni d'adresses de l'université. Je vous remercie de prendre en compte ces recommandations. Nous aimons Coursera pour sa fiabilité.

Overall, The course is very informative and its the best time, when we can explore the insights we gained from the course. On looking towards the current scenario of the oil and gas market, as we all know the market has hit its lowest. This course helped me better understand the situation of the oil prices downfall.

I recommend the people interested to learn about the oil and gas industry to take the course and broaden their perspective towards the oil and gas industry.

The oil and gas industry operations and markets were very effective course which covers most of the point used In the industry and also give the bright explanation about the process of the operation and you can easily understand the upstream and downstream, the marketing of the oil and gas, at the end this course add to me the knowledge and highly recommended it is powerful topic if you want to complete the image of the oil and gas industry.
