The business of oil and gas is multifaceted, technically complex, highly capital intensive, and often confronted with potential risks and uncertainties. Today’s petroleum industry is dealing with ever-increasing levels of complexity, price volatility, and competition. The objective of this course is to provide the participants with extensive exposure to the many complex management issues presently confronting the Upstream and Downstream Petroleum Industry and to strengthen their understanding to manage the business successfully employing the latest innovative technologies.
