The image is a radar chart comparing four training programs across five categories. Categories (axes on the chart): Safety Focus (top) Operational Skills (right) Engineering Depth (bottom) Strategic/Research (left) Programs (color-coded lines and shaded areas): BOPS – outlined in red Gas Compressor – outlined in light blue Corrosion Control – outlined in yellow LRGCC – outlined in dark gray Key insights from the chart: BOPS scores highest in Safety Focus and Operational Skills, with strong emphasis compared to others. Gas Compressor and Corrosion Control both show balanced strengths, with moderate performance across all categories. LRGCC scores highest in Strategic/Research, but has lower emphasis on Safety Focus. Engineering Depth is most emphasized in Gas Compressor and Corrosion Control compared to the others. Overall, the radar chart visually contrasts the different strengths of each program, showing how they prioritize safety, operational skills, engineering expertise, and strategic or research focus.
OU’s Energy Programs — including the Blowout Prevention School (BOPS), Gas Compressor Short Course (GCSC), Corrosion Control Course (CCC), and Laurence Reid Gas Conditioning Conference (LRGCC) — deliver specialized, practical training designed to keep energy professionals current, compliant, and competitive.
