Assess the technical and commercial risk attaching to energy sector mergers and acquisitions across the asset life cycle.
Merger and Acquisition Strategies in the Energy Sector
Develop the judgement and the documentation needed to run energy sector mergers and acquisitions properly.
Course Overview
Regulators and insurers increasingly want documented evidence of how energy sector mergers and acquisitions is controlled. Price volatility does not excuse weak discipline in mergers and acquisitions — it punishes it. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of this strand of energy and hydrocarbon operations and supervised application. Participants leave with a method for energy sector mergers and acquisitions, not a set of opinions about it. Participants who influence the energy and hydrocarbon operations discipline without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. The version of mergers and acquisitions described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. Participants gain a realistic view of what energy sector mergers and acquisitions costs and what it returns. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in mergers and acquisitions that were visible long before the incident. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to this aspect of energy and hydrocarbon operations that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
