Urea Synthesis and HP Recovery Section (Abnormal Operations and Operational Emergency Handling)
Oil, Gas & Petroleum · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 2,500
Overview
Urea is a white crystalline substance with the chemical formula CO(NH2)2; it is highly water-soluble and contains 46% nitrogen. Urea is considered an organic compound because it contains carbon. It was the first organic compound every synthesized by chemists; this was accomplished in the early 1800s by German chemists.

What do Al-Khobraa oil, gas and petroleum courses cover?
The portfolio spans the full value chain: upstream exploration, drilling and well control; midstream processing, pipelines and gas treatment; and downstream refining and petrochemicals — plus process safety management (PSM), HAZOP studies, corrosion control and plant operations. Trainers are practitioners from the sector.
Who should attend an oil, gas and petroleum course?
These courses suit process, production and petroleum engineers, plant and field operators and supervisors, maintenance and inspection staff, HSE and process safety professionals, and technical or commercial staff joining the sector from another industry.
How long are oil, gas and petroleum courses, and where are they held?
Most Al-Khobraa oil, gas and petroleum courses run over 5 days. The exact duration, dates and city for this course are listed in the dates section on this page. Public sessions run across Saudi Arabia — Riyadh, Jeddah, Al-Khobar, Jubail and Yanbu — as well as regional and international venues, with live virtual classrooms available on request.
What certificate will I receive?
Delegates who complete the course receive an Al-Khobraa certificate of completion, issued by a Saudi-registered training provider. Al-Khobraa also delivers internationally accredited programmes; where a course carries an external awarding body such as PMI, CIPS, ILM or IOSH, that body is named on the course's own page.
