Course Description

Petroleum Economics has a vital role to play in the Oil & Gas Industry and it lies at the heart of all decision making.  Various techniques have evolved over time in determining and calculating economic inputs, evaluating investments, quantifying risk and generating feasible portfolios. Petroleum Economics brings together information and expertise across the E&P spectrum and a clear understanding of concepts such as cash flow analysis, organizational challenges, price forecasting, cost drivers and risk management is required. 

Successful oil and gas business needs continuously review, value and risk assessment with a view to optimization of the overall performance of each asset in the portfolio considering changing global and local economic parameters. A strategic and a dynamic approach is needed to manage uncertainties, exploit synergies between corporate values and economic targets.

Broad understanding of petroleum economy requires technical, commercial and governmental structures to operate oil and gas asset successfully. Modern portfolio management consists construction of sophisticated models to value the risk and characterize alternative combinations of asset development. Such models provide access to technical components to aid decision-making, such as feasible envelopes and efficient frontiers defined in terms of financial and non-financial metrics over defined planning horizons
