Fundamentals of the Upstream Oil and Gas Industry
This course gives non-technical and new entrant professionals a clear picture of how the upstream sector finds and produces hydrocarbons. Delegates follow the value chain from exploration and drilling through reservoir management to production operations and abandonment. The programme demystifies the terminology, technology, and economics so that support staff can engage confidently with technical colleagues.
Liquefied Natural Gas Value Chain and Operations
Delegates gain a thorough understanding of the liquefied natural gas business from gas supply through liquefaction, shipping, and regasification. The course covers plant technology, cargo operations, quality specifications, and the commercial structures that underpin long term LNG trade. The programme suits professionals entering or supporting the fast growing gas sector.
Petroleum Economics and Project Evaluation
This course equips professionals to evaluate the commercial viability of petroleum projects using rigorous economic analysis. Delegates build cash flow models, apply discounting and investment indicators, and test decisions against price, cost, and production uncertainty. The programme also covers the fiscal terms and risk factors that shape investment decisions in the sector.
