An Interactive 5-Day Training Course
Certificate in Strategic Management in the Oil and Gas Business
Sustaining High Performance in a Rapidly Changing Market
Course Overview
The oil and gas industries are going through a period of significant change. The outlook for oil and gas prices is volatile, difficult to forecast and subjected to pressures from alternative energy sources. At the same time the growth in global demand is coming from newly industrializing markets in addition to recovery in the more mature economic zones. This has major implications for upstream and downstream operations and for the type and level of investment that will be required over the medium term.
