An Interactive 5-Day Training Course

Due Diligence in the Oil and Gas Development – Phase 1

Course Overview

This 5-day Phase 1 GLOMACS Training Seminar is concerned with one of the most important activities in the development of oil and gas business – critical analysis and evaluation of potential investors and partners.  The oil and gas industries are becoming more complex in structure, technology, competition and strategic choice. Consequently a company’s relationships with potential investors and partners now require a significantly higher standard of appraisal and focus than has been the case in the past. 

Due diligence is multi-dimensional. It is based on an understanding of needs and objectives of potential investors and partners; their decision criteria; their compatibility with the strategic and operational objectives of our own company; and finally it requires a structured process by which attraction and integration of new investors and partners can be accomplished effectively in order to sustain continuous improvement in the profitable growth of the company.

This GLOMACS training seminar will highlight the following key topics:

  • The changing dynamics of the global oil and gas business
  • Due diligence in financial appraisal of potential investors and partners
  • Due diligence in non-financial appraisal of potential investors and partners
  • The specific challenges of partnering in alliances and joint ventures
  • Best practice in managing investor and partner relationships
