Course Description

INTRODUCTION

This 10-day two-phase GLOMACS Training Seminar is concerned with one of the most important activities in the development of oil and gas business – critical analysis and evaluation of potential investors and partners.  The oil and gas industries are becoming more complex in structure, technology, competition and strategic choice. Consequently a company’s relationships with potential investors and partners now require a significantly higher standard of appraisal and focus than has been the case in the past. We will concentrate on the application of leading-edge tools and techniques of due diligence in building effective relationships with these two strategically significant stakeholder categories.

Due diligence is multi-dimensional.  It is based on an understanding of needs and objectives of potential investors and partners; their decision criteria; their compatibility with the strategic and operational objectives of our own company; and finally it requires a structured process by which attraction and integration of new investors and partners can be accomplished effectively in order to sustain continuous improvement in the profitable growth of the company.

The training seminar is split into two phases:

Objectives

At the end of this GLOMACS training seminar, you will learn how to:

  • Identify the precise characteristics of new investors and partners
  • Evaluate the past performance and future potential of new investors and partners
  • Select and engage with new investors and partners
  • Anticipate and deal with the challenges of integrating new investors and partners
  • Measure the strategic impact of adding the new relationships

Training Methodology

The training process is based on a carefully planned combination of highly focused inputs by the seminar leader, using a balanced set of state-of-the-art presentation mechanisms. The emphasis will be on learning by examining major decisions in which the use of best practice principles of due diligence has been critical. Above all, the principles and approaches to this subject will be illustrated by reference to real-life organisations with which the seminar leader has been personally involved. In addition delegates will be encouraged to introduce issues for open discussion and creative thought. 

Specifically, we will use the following training methods:

  • Presentations by the course leader on tools and techniques of due diligence
  • Group work on case studies based on analysis, interaction and discussion
  • Focused problem-solving exercises, including “outside the box” thinking
