Course Overview
Price volatility does not excuse weak discipline in energy price hedging — it punishes it. The energy transition has not removed the need for rigour in the energy and hydrocarbon operations capability; it has added to it. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting this part of energy and hydrocarbon operations and under-invest in testing it. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make energy price hedging hard in practice. The content is relevant to those who own this area of energy and hydrocarbon operations and to those who are held accountable for its results. Organisations that document the wider energy and hydrocarbon operations agenda properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. They leave able to brief senior management on energy price hedging in terms that support a decision. The programme takes participants through this aspect of energy and hydrocarbon operations end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. Work concludes with a self-assessment of this strand of energy and hydrocarbon operations that participants can repeat annually.
