The organizational aspects of the roles and responsibilities in the interface and coordination...

Gas & LNG Contract Negotiations

This world class training course is uniquely Asia-focused. It immerses course participants in a dynamic negotiation process based entirely on real life Oil, Gas and LNG negotiating situations, many of which have been experienced directly by the course Trainers. It targets professionals who are normally peripheral to major Gas and LNG negotiations such as legal counsel, financial and engineering professionals, project leaders and senior management, any of whom may be called in to play an a...

Petroleum Risk Analysis & Portfolio Management

The Petroleum Risk Analysis and Portfolio Management course offers tools and practical techniques to identify, analyse and manage uncertainties and risk in exploration and production projects. Learning is reinforced by working on case material to explore uncertainties and risks in the context of production forecasting, cash-flow management, incremental projects and asset portfolio manipulation. Monte Carlo modelling and Decision Tree analysis software are employed during the course to dev...
