Oil Field Electricity: Electrified Equipment
e-Learning
About the eLearning Course
In this course, we look at the various electrified operations equipment found on leases, what equipment problems you should look for and report, and what equipment must be routinely inspected and maintained. The program also covers how electrified switches and corrosion protection help control potential sources of lease pollution.
