About this Training Course This 5 full-day training course looks at the setup of economic analysis cases, including the estimation of recoverable reserves, production profiles, commodity prices, and project costs - CAPEX, OPEX, taxes, royalties, transportation, depreciation, before-tax (BTAX) cash-flow, after-tax (ATAX) cash-flow and international fiscal regimes (production sharing agreement and concessionary system). The course begins from the basic required parameters of inflation, interest and time value of money. These concepts are then transformed into profitability indicators. Last but not the least, the profitability indicators are then used to make investment decisions. The emphasis of this course is to bridge the gap between theoretical concepts and their practical limitations. The participants will be able to appreciate the amount of information that they never thought of. Another emphasis of this course is also on the use of Excel's financial functions. This understanding is very critical when it comes to building economic cash-flow models. Over the years, we have seen that participants really struggle with using the Excel functions correctly and this leads to mistakes that can be easily avoided. In each session, multiple choice problems are provided to participants to reinforce their understanding of the concepts covered in the course. Many quick or tips not widely known, are also shared with the participants. The concepts covered in this course are not restricted to downstream, upstream or petrochemical projects. These concepts can be used to evaluate any type of investment under consideration. Participants will require access to computers/laptops with Excel to solve problems during the course. Training Objectives Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to fully understand the gas market dynamics and Investment Evaluation. They will be able to: Learn how to reduce exposure and mitigate risks in projects by handling uncertainty Clarify concepts such as time value of money, cash-flow models, capital budgeting, IRR, NPV, income producing investments Maximise the return on investments through good decision-making processes based on the commercial viability of projects Improve their decision process, investment and opportunity analysis Acquire the hands-on experience in building their own economic evaluation models and solving case study-based examples Target Audience The following oil & gas company personnel will benefit from the knowledge shared in this course: Facilities and Planning engineers Project and procurement personnel Oil & gas engineers Geologists Financial Analysts Commercial managers Economists Government officials Business advisors Asset managers E&P managers Product and business development personnel Course Level Basic or Foundation Training Methods Organisational Impact Trainer Your expert course leader is a globally recognised subject matter expert in petroleum/project economics and international gas market analysis.
