I loved the topic of Hydrocarbon Management and now I understood why it is important for our yield accountants to be concerned and work hard to reconcile the receipts, shipment and productions. —Sandra Artiga,Inversiones Energetícas

Five stars to the course and the instructor. —Muk-Apa Mukdahong,Thai Oil Company Limited

Although this course gives an overview of offsite operations, I was interested more in Fuels Blending Technology and hands-on exercises to solve Fuels Blending problems. However, I understand from the instructor that he offers two more training courses i... —Ongyos Udomrak,IRPC Public Company Limited

Upon completion of the course, I felt good to have learned what is offsite operations really about as in our refinery this area of operations is not focused enough despite the fact that it affects the bottom-line. Great course, indeed. – Smith Edward ,... —Smith Edward,Silver Eagle Refinery

My favorite topics were the “journey of octane thru refinery lanes” and fuels blending. The lab exercise to solve a small refinery problem was excellent to demonstrate the use of LP. I wish the course would have more lab exercises of the kind. —Snezana Ristic,Ministry of Mining and Energy, Serbia

I was transferred to offsite operations from onsite and I had very little clue about offsite as such. This course gave me an excellent overview of technology and operational aspects with right blend of details. I would recommend this training course to... —Thupthanachote Kiticunanon,The Bangchak Petroleum Co. Ltd

The discussion of our refinery fuels blending problem at the end was very helpful to us and gave us directions to move towards. Thank you very much, Dr. Agrawal —Academy Admin,BP Oil

The discussion of case studies of refinery’s progress to migrate from manual blending control to fully automate system was very interesting as it showed the problems, challenges and solutions at every step of upgrade. Excellent course material and the... —Academy Admin,Singapore Refining Company

I liked that the course started with general concepts and continue to details giving space to change the amounts of details/time dedicated to topics relating to audience. The material of the course was excellent. This seminar provide the refiners an in-... —Mohammad Al-Buftain,KPC

The instructor is extremely knowledgeable and very interactive with the class participants. —Alan Hugo,Valero

I wish you would offer this excellent course in India as we have 15 refineries and they all focus on onsite and ignore offsite operations which is you showed affect the refinery’s bottom-line. —Kothapalli Srinivas,Numaligarh Refinery, India

The course was very interesting as I could relate the refining and auto industry problems and challenges in terms of fuel quality specifications and ways to meet them economically. —Jay Cummings,GM

The concept of Blender header design was very innovative as it was developed and taught by the instructor. It took the notion out that blend header is just a piece of pipe. It has many design considerations, important to success of blending system, thank... —Mike Redd,Silver Eagle Refining

The octane quiz was very interesting as it cleared many of my misconceptions about the octane. I would give 5 start to this course and the instructor, Dr. Agrawal —William Baustista,IST Corporation

I have not attended any training course before which is so methodical, exceptional, rich in topics and presented excellently. I learned a lot about fuels blending in this course, thanks to the instructor —Sergio Carvajal,IST corporation

Good Addition to "F2F", Thanks —Training Attendee,Phillips66

The demonstration was little difficult to follow due to the software used (we don’t have on our site). The demonstration showed the values entered and report with end results, but I wish there was more shown on the calculations-using equation we learned in the morning of course. It would be nice to have a demo of actually adding cause and effect of watching a blend in process – showing how optimizer, analyzers, controls and how would react together. It would be a good way to relate the theory we learned in slides to real life process. —Training Attendee,Phillips66

Course contained a lot of foundation/basic information relative to my experience level. Seems to be a good course for people with less experience. —Training Attendee,Phillips66

I liked how the challenges of blending were discussed and importance of understanding models and importance of blend header. —Training Attendee,Phillips66

Overall, very useful course —Training Attendee,Phillips66

Overall useful reminders probably best for < 2 years on the job —Training Attendee,Phillips66

Some topics in the morning are kind of redundant —Training Attendee,Phillips66

Include videos to elaborate even more —Training Attendee,Phillips66

There were too many slides with lot of equation which could have been reduced —Training Attendee,Phillips66

The material could have been condensed even more with more discussion in each area. —Training Attendee,Phillips66

Few more examples like the RVP regression example for topics like lumped bias or non-linear bend models. It would be helpful for comparing the current site practice and easier to take home. —Training Attendee,Phillips66

More real life examples of how concepts play out —Training Attendee,Phillips66

Discussion of synergies between components —Training Attendee,Phillips66

A case with linear and non-linear formulation ca be presented for difference and benefits —Training Attendee,Phillips66

The first two topics could have covered more quickly. As the blender optimizers, we are all very aware of the difficulties in convincing management of the importance of optimized blending. —Training Attendee,Phillips66

It is a great webinar —Webinar Attendee,

Good and informative webinar —Webinar Attendee,

Highly informative. Dr. Agrawal's subject matter expertise is outstanding. —Webinar Attendee,

The webinar was very informational and insightful. Got to know more about Blending. —Webinar Attendee,

A complex and extensive material was present easy and clear. Congratulations —Webinar Attendee,

Insightful and full of knowledge. The part where benefits of integrated systems (OMM-TIS-MAB) was explained was really great. Refinery loss/gain distribution curve for 3 years was also insightful. Overall, really good webinar. —Webinar Attendee,
