Course Overview

Deferred maintenance and deferred decisions on oil and gas asset valuation both accrue interest. The energy transition has not removed the need for rigour in asset valuation; it has added to it. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make this aspect of energy and hydrocarbon operations hard in practice. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about oil and gas asset valuation under scrutiny. The programme converts this part of energy and hydrocarbon operations from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better asset valuation is rarely technical. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting oil and gas asset valuation and under-invest in testing it. The programme works equally well for those formalising asset valuation for the first time and those improving an existing approach. The final module sets out how progress on the wider energy and hydrocarbon operations agenda will be evidenced six months later.
