The 10-Day Advanced
Project Economics & Performance Management
for Oil & Gas Professionals

INTRODUCTION

This 10-Day Advanced Project Economics & Performance Management for Oil & Gas Professionals training course addresses the need for professionals in the Oil & Gas industry to manage and control projects. An in-depth treatment of project uncertainty enables delegates to tackle the economic challenges facing the petroleum industry and use effective risk planning and management techniques to support effective decision-making. This ability to control projects is further enhanced through the establishment of effective project governance systems to establish key performance indicators and measure project progress.

Key highlights of this GLOMACS training course are:

• Identification of the stages required in the risk analysis process, i.e., preparing, modeling, and running risk analysis
• Development of the risk model, assessing probabilities to various variables, risk analysis, and explore the impact of uncertain variables
• Enable the participants to perform quantitative risk management techniques and conduct data-driven decision-making using probabilistic profitability indicators
• Exploration of the concept of value and value-driven project management
• Definition of key performance indicators, metrics and reporting dashboards
• Examination of effective governance mechanisms to support planning, execution (change) and performance management
• Application of core planning techniques

MODULES

This training course is split into two modules:

MODULE I - Advanced Project Economics, Risk & Decision Analysis

MODULE II - Project Performance Measurement and Management

Each module is structured and can be taken as a stand-alone training course; however, delegates will maximise their benefits by taking Module 1 and 2 back-to-back as a 2-week training course.
