Course Description

This practical course covers the fundamental aspects of upstream petroleum economics and risk analysis through a variety of lectures and workshop exercises. It will allow participants to construct computer-based economic models, incorporate relevant cash-flow data and draw conclusions to aid decision-making. It also provides practical guidance in the application of the techniques of the economic analysis currently used in the oil & gas industry. Techniques for predicting profit, production, costs, and cash flow enable the analyst to evaluate decision alternatives for optimum results. Understanding economic indicators, risk and uncertainty, different economic structures such as tax regimes and production sharing contracts, enhances the quality and the value of economic analysis.
The course will include a number of exercises aimed at enhancing each participant capability to conduct various economic evaluations. In addition each participant will attempt to develop spreadsheet calculations of various economic analyses. At the end of the workshop each participant will be given a comprehensive spreadsheet program that can carry out a complete economic evaluation including a sensitivity analysis.
Additionally, the course assumes no or limited prior knowledge of the topics covered in the course. New concepts and tools are introduced gradually to enable delegates to progress from the fundamental to the advanced concepts of economic evaluation.
