INTRODUCTION

The petroleum industry is one of the most important, highly capital-intensive, and risky businesses. Global exploration and production spending in 2013 was $644 billion, up 7% from $604 billion the year before. In 2014, the exploration budget reached $654 billion but this fell to $521 billion in 2015 and in the following year, 2016, there was a further decline of 27%. This year’s global exploration and production spending is expected to increase by 7%. The upstream sector’s profit margins are under real pressure from many factors such as higher costs of developing new reserves, less oil, and gas found per foot of exploration drilling, rising inflation, global oversupply, and price volatility. Competition for investments, acreage/concessions, aging of existing reservoirs, and the unconventional oil and gas revolution all contribute to business risk and uncertainty. Petroleum industry projects are by  their very nature risky, the challenge however is in assessing, managing, and mitigating this risk proactively. The three biggest planning challenges are predicting costs, assessing profitability, and risk management. All these tasks occur in the early stages of capital planning and failure to adequately evaluate these elements can lead to heavy losses. 

This training course will highlight:

  • 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 exploring the impact of uncertain variables

  • Enable the participants to create reports such as tornadoes diagrams, scatter plots, and cumulative probability functions, using Excel

  • Application of decision trees and Monte Carlo-based simulations to generate profitability indicators

  • Enable the participants to develop probabilistic cashflow reports along with probabilistic profitability indicators for decision-making

Training program objectives:

  • Learn how to handle uncertainty in petroleum projects

  • Understand different economic terms used in the oil & gas industry

  • Understand the expected value concept and learn its impact on decision tree analysis

  • Learn expected theory concepts and attitudes toward risk, risk aversion, and risk premium

  • Acquire spreadsheet skills including simulation software RISK

  • Carry out cashflow analysis, for a petroleum-related project and use common economic indicators to evaluate between competing alternatives

  • Carry out a comprehensive economic study evaluating petroleum-related projects using risk and sensitivity analysis using spreadsheets
