Training Programs for Engineers, Oil & Gas Technology Programs & Professional Development, Assessments and Certifications, and Virtual Training Programs in Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia
Established in 1981 and located in Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia, Institut Teknologi Petroleum Petronas (INSTEP) accelerates human capital development in the oil & gas industry through experiential learning, delivering customized niche programs, anchored on world-class facilities, and industry-experienced instructors, further supporting the exceptional growth of the oil & gas industry.
INSTEP has grown into an internationally recognized technical learning solutions partner with customers' presence from over 35 countries, and produced more than 130,000 job ready technical workforces serving in more than 30 refinery & petrochemical plants and 100 production platforms globally.
INSTEP’s Upstream Downstream Training Plant (UDTP) , located in INSTEP, provides a conducive learning environment through holistic instructional approach. Managed by the Training Plant & Operation Department (TPO), learners perform real activities on a live plant to enhance their competency through hands-on training as well as experiential learning guided by experienced and qualified instructors.
The Downstream Training Plant consists of two main processing units, a Crude Distillation Unit (CDU) and a Hydrotreater Unit (HTU). The CDU replicates a simplified refinery fractionation unit while the HTU provides learners with practical experience of reforming and hydro treating activities in the downstream sector of hydrocarbon processing. Both downstream plants utilize Mono-Ethylene glycol mixture as their processing medium at low pressure and temperature, again, ensuring safe working conditions for the learners.
