<h2><strong>About this Training Course</strong></h2>
<p>In turbulent times for the entire Energy Sector, Oil &amp; Gas E &amp; P segments are coming under tremendous pressure to reinvigorate. Oil Majors like <em>Shell Plc</em> are no longer termed as Oil &amp; Gas Company but also branded as <em>SHELL Energy</em>, with technology at its forefront. The Risks, Scope and Context of Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Installation and Commissioning (EPCIC) Projects is evolving rapidly. Thus, the success of a project is dependent on the practical 'know how' in scoping, contract drafting, negotiation and execution competencies. Understanding the essential ingredients of contracts and mastering the international contracting principles will equip the participants to identify vague and ambiguous clauses, avoid dangerous and often hidden terms, and better understand the controlling position in a project.</p>
<p>In this 3 full-day course, the participants will find out how to negotiate legacy contracts where parties are not allowed to edit any clauses during the bidding process. The participants will learn from the Case Law Reports and analysis to take home lessons learned from bitter experiences of their peers in the industry. It is designed to help those who need a solution to manage current contractual issues or those who execute contracts regularly and want to be more proficient in managing their contracts and projects, with changing contexts.</p>
<p>The course is developed with the underlying objectives for the participants to:</p>
<ol><li>Enhance their current knowledge of the legal principles governing international Contracts from formation, execution to breaches, redresses and dispute resolution either as a party or as a consortium member or as a coverture.</li><li>Manage Consortium and Joint Venture Partners inter-relationship and contractual responsibilities.</li><li>Identify dangerous exposures due to joint and severally liable requirements of consortium-based contracts.</li><li>Effectively Manage Risks of Projects, with Enforceable Contract Documents, by learning the purpose and potential benefits of maintaining evidence in compliance to the contract clauses.</li><li>Learn the Contract Enforcement Nuggets of Owners and the Variation Claims Strategies of the Contractors.</li><li>Allocation of contract management related roles / assignments and WBS within consortium partners for effective project management and profitable results.</li><li>Use of Contract Terms &amp; Conditions for enhancing project performance, monitoring, reporting, and achieving timely completion, thereby avoiding delays and disputes.</li></ol>

<p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">The two elements which consistently remain in the forefront of every executive, tasked to manage a project, are &#39;<strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">Cost</strong>&#39; and &#39;<strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">Time</strong>&#39;. There is probably no disagreement or a need to prove that a strong correlation exists between Cost and Schedule. The mechanics of capturing cost during the execution is not that difficult a task, as it is when undertaking Design, Engineering, Estimating, Planning, Scheduling, and seeking financing for the project. The corporate management is expected to provide realistic, reliable and risks adjusted projections of a project&#39;s overall financial performance.</p>
<p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">This 3 full-day course and workshop is developed to make the delegates walk through the engineering formulas and equations to become a professional in managing estimates, projections, risks, uncertainties and secure financing for high value, high risk projects, from both On-shore and Offshore Oil &amp; Gas industry segments.</p>

<h2><strong>About this Training Course</strong></h2>
<p>In context of trade, seamless supply chains and dependence on international resources, world is becoming one single market. Even though because of internet and widespread access to legal resources, business managers tend to share the common legal principles, but unfortunately, the legal framework and national laws of different countries still maintain a certain degree of uniqueness and protectionism. Thus, the success of an international contract will depend on the 'know how' in identifying the differences in legal regimes, diversity of legislature, scoping, contract drafting, negotiation and execution competencies in each context. It is getting not only important but crucial to consider risks from remote and unforeseen events, sanctions, and proxy wars. As a contract gets bigger in monetary value and wider in scope, more attention is needed in drafting and interpreting terms and conditions of any contract before signing on the last page or accepting it online.</p>
<p>This 2 full-day course endeavours to enable the participants gain an understanding of the essential ingredients of contracts and mastering the international contracting principles. This course will equip participants to identify vague and ambiguous clauses, avoid dangerous and often hidden terms, and better understand the controlling position in a project. The participants will learn from the Case Law Reports and analysis to take home lessons learned from bitter experiences of peers in the industry. It is designed to help those who need a solution to manage current contractual issues or those who execute international contracts regularly and want to be more proficient in managing their contracts and projects, with changing contexts.</p>

Intellectual property - the business perspective (In-House)

<p>Nowadays not only do we rely on our commercial and sales staff to hit that bottom line but we expect our engineers and project teams to play their part too - not only through their engineering and management skills but by behaving in a commercially minded way in their dealings with their counterparts in customer or supplier organisations. This means understanding, amongst other things, the issues surrounding the commencement of work ahead of contract, having a clear contract baseline, recognising the broader implications of contract change, the need for timeliness and the consequences of failing to meet the contracted timetable.</p><p>This practical one-day programme has been designed specifically to give engineers, project staff and others just that understanding. The course is designed principally to provide engineers and project staff with an appreciation of contractual obligations, liabilities, rights and remedies so that they understand the implications of their actions. It is also suitable for business development staff who are negotiating contracts on behalf of the business.</p><p>The main focus of the day is on creating an awareness of when a situation may have commercial implications that would harm an organisation's business interests if not recognised and handled appropriately and how taking a positive but more commercial approach to those situations can lead to a more positive outcome for the business. As well as providing an understanding of the commercial imperatives the day also focuses on specific areas affecting engineers and project staff, such as the recognition and management of change, the risks when working outside the contract and managing delays in contracts. The course identifies the different remedies that may apply according to the reasons for the delay and provides some thoughts on pushing back should such situations arise.</p><p>On completion of this programme the participants will:</p><ul><li>appreciate the need for contractual controls and will have a better understanding of their relevance and how they can be applied, particularly the issues of starting work ahead of contract, implementing changes and inadvertently creating a binding contract by their behaviour;</li><li>have gained an understanding of the terminology and procedural issues pertaining to contracting within a programme; and</li><li>be more commercially aware and better equipped for their roles.</li></ul><section>
