An Interactive 5-Day Training Course
Energy Value Creation
Analysis for Investment Decisions
Course Overview
Mark Twain famously said, “buy land—they’re not making it anymore”.
This adage had a similar appeal in the early energy industry. Investors went for “find energy—wherever it is and as much—they’re not making it anymore”. And at least in the early decades of the petroleum industry, the advice worked. Yet, as real estate investors soon found out that not all property has value, energy investors also realised that not all energy projects create value. The energy business is facing new challenges, from harder to find resources to an uncertain market. The energy version of Mark Twain's adage has effectively lost its appeal.
With their technical and market uncertainty, then which projects should we invest in and which ones to reject? We should select those that create value. Here, analytics and valuations have become increasingly significant. We should understand the uncertainty, describe its effects, and make informed decisions. This Energy Value Creation training course discusses the art and science of analysis for value creation. It discusses theory and practice and aims to generate insights about value creation.
