WHY YOU CANNOT MISS THIS EVENT

The purpose of this three-day course is to provide new professionals, especially those with a business background such as in nance and accounting, with a comprehensive introduction to the oil and gas industry. The focus of this three-day course will be on how value is created in the energy value chain. This will equip attendees with leading-edge skills to create value for their own company, regardless of the segment in the energy value chain that they work. The energy value chain involves the process of linking speci c functions from input to output (i.e., from upstream, midstream, through downstream) to enhance the economic value of the business throughout the value chain. As a result, attendees will gain an understanding of how each segment of the energy rms activities add value along the energy value chain. This will also help them better understand their own role in the value chain and how it relates to others in their company and to the industry. Throughout the course, best practices will be taught in each segment and a lot of case studies will be utilized so that participants can apply concepts learned to real case analysis.
