Oil and gas pipelines have been, are, and will continue to be, primary movers of energy for many years. The overriding goal of PKD is teaching the pipeline industry's stakeholders about oil and gas pipelines to enable safe, reliable, and efficient transportation, with due respect for the environment, landowners, regulators, emergency response personnel, and customers
Knowledge Delivery
PKD's knowledge building blocks are modular lessons, developed and improved since 2004, covering a variety of topics. Lessons are taught either individually, or combined into classes. This approach allows clients to customize classes to best fit their needs.
