Petroleum Economics Training Course

Aimed at the more senior manager or technical operative, this advanced course on Petroleum Economics combines the review, appraisal and evaluation of a wide variety of techniques that are brought together under the heading of petroleum economics.

It is assumed that all delegates will have a good grasp of the main areas to be discussed and applied during the programme in keeping with the nature and level of the materials to be presented.

This course is highly interactive and paticipative and Excel spreadsheet templates and financial modelling best practice will be used rigorously throughout. Delegates will be required to apply best practice at all times and to work with the trainer and their fellow delegates on solving problems from the materials provided and their problems at work.

The mini case concept is a unique feature of our training: a mini case is a real live problem that delegates bring to the training room looking for assistance in providing a solution to their problem. Without any guarantees, we are confident that all usch problems will be solved during the five days of this course.

This course draws on the use of Excel, spreadsheeting including the exploration of such techniques as Monte Carlo Simulations, Decision Tree Analysis and  Multi Variable Sensitivity Analysis.
