An Interactive 5-Day Training Course
Economics of Oil and Gas Production
Leveraging Decision-Making Under Uncertainty
Course Overview
Can you predict the oil price today, tomorrow, or next year? Uncertainty and risk are inherent in the hydrocarbon industry, thus evaluating and quantifying uncertainties and risks associated with a course of action is a vital step in the petroleum business. This is especially critical as oil and gas production is capital-intensive with high operating costs, and the decisions made today last for decades with long-lived assets.
This Economics of Oil and Gas Production training course highlights economic and uncertainty analysis applied to oil and gas projects to facilitate informed decision-making and foster long-term business resilience for complex systems and projects. Applications for screening and evaluation are studied in detail.
This GLOMACS Economics of Oil and Gas Production training course will highlight:
- Decision & Risk Analysis for Oil & Gas
