About this Training Course 

This 4-day practical workshop is an essential introduction for participants wishing to develop or enhance a keen understanding of Upstream Oil & Gas Decision Economics, the economic drivers and impacts upon all parties involved. Participants should attend with laptops running Microsoft Office, a PDF reader – and preferably without restrictive IT firewall. (Proprietary Trial Downloads may be suggested)

This course offers a concise but practical introduction to the essential elements of E & P Decision Economics with particular emphasis on practical issues – what takes place, and why. It will be suitable both for those new to the subject and for more focused refresher training with more practical real-world elements. The emphasis throughout is on marshalling all aspects of the ‘Business Case’ required by decision-makers, including both descriptive and illustrative modelling of the range of ‘Government Take’ mechanisms deployed in conventional taxation and alternative contract regimes. We also examine simple but effective techniques to model the essentials of E&P Project Risk.

Effective management of the world’s invaluable natural resources has never been more important than now, given continuing population increases coupled with rising and more complex lifestyle choices within rapidly developing economies. Both Governments and E&P companies share a huge responsibility to ensure effective stewardship and market application oil & gas resources. Without both good commercial decisions and incentivised tax regime systems this irreplaceable resource would remain beneath the surface – or else generate little net value for either companies or society. All managers and key energy professionals – within both Government and Industry – need a good practical appreciation of the underlying investment decision principles.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Developing a keen practical appreciation of the essential drivers and principles within E&P Decision Economics.
  • Encouraging incisive discussion on techniques employed, backed up by practical ‘hands-on’
  • Banishing the ‘Black-Box’ mentality – all participants will leave ready to ask the right questions!
  • Appreciation of the role of ‘corporate beliefs’ – and consequent range in potential valuations
  • Comprehending principles underlying the range of ‘Fiscal Devices’ deployed by Governments
  • Appreciating potential Tax Regime impact – both Company and National Agency decision-making
  • Appreciation of linkages: Conventional Economic Indicators and Corporate Financial Measures
  • Encouraging a broad appreciation of Quantitative Risk management, Asset and Portfolio level
  • Interpreting the range of model outputs to help enhance capital investment decision-making
  • Understanding Commercial Fundamentals to aid within Planning, Negotiations and Bidding

This course will benefit:

  • Economists and strategists in National and International Oil Companies
  • Petrotechnical staff contributing key data
  • Exploration and Field Development analysts
  • Reservoir Engineers
  • Legal and Contracts
  • Financial Analysts
  • Accountants/ Auditors
  • Business Development
  • M & A negotiators
  • Production Sharing contract specialists
