Course description
Oil & Gas Project Economics, Evaluation & Financial Modelling (Public & Virtual)
This 5-Day course covers 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, international fiscal regimes (production sharing agreement and concessionary system). The course starts 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.
Emphasis of the 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. In addition to this, emphasis 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.
