Programme Overview
Economics is the primary link between decision making and profitable operations and it is one of the four pillars of the oil and gas sector. The economic structure of the petroleum industry differs strongly from other industries due to great risks and uncertainty associated with oil and gas projects, coupled with dangerously volatile price levels. Being an extractive industry that is exposed to a range of formidable uncertainties, the upstream petroleum industry faces particular complexity in assessing the economics of its business opportunities.
Petroleum Project Economics & Risk Analysis Training in London, UK has been designed specifically to provide practical guidance to Oil & Gas industry professionals and help them employ effective techniques for economic analysis. Upon the successful completion of the programme its delegates will be able to apply appropriate tools when predicting profit, production, costs, and cash flow and thereby evaluate existing alternatives for optimum outcomes.
