Overview

Why Attend

This course offers a comprehensive financial modelling and petroleum project economics training course. This training course on Financial Modelling and Petroleum Project Economics offers attendees an integrated and applied understanding of the financial analysis tools and techniques relating to the oil and gas industry. It will also teach varied methods to build proforma analysis and how to conduct various financial analyses and forecasts and applied risk analysis tools in investments or projects.

This training course is structured into careful balance between formal lectures from leading experts and case studies that illustrate applications of the various techniques with Excel. It should serve everyone in the upstream and downstream views with a very good understanding of how modern analysis and forecasting are done.

This specialised training course provides practicing financial analysts with the skills of financial modelling, risk assessment, and economic evaluation tailored for the petroleum industry. Attendees take their training by developing dynamic financial models with Excel, evaluating their investment decisions based on various key metrics such as NPV, IRR, and payback periods, which are necessary to be applied in upstream and downstream projects.

Cost estimation, cash flow forecasting, sensitivity analysis, and scenario planning related to strategic decision-making are also addressed during the course delivery. By means of case studies derived from petroleum and related modelling exercises, the analyst will have a solid grounding in the areas of uncertainty and regulatory frameworks in evaluating oil and gas ventures.

Completely suited for professionals engaged in energy finance, the course links technical and financial assessment, allowing attendees to derive insight towards intelligent investment performance in the petroleum sector.
