INTRODUCTION
Participants on this training course will gain a good understanding of how management functions and project teams within oil and gas companies collaborate to make good (high quality) decisions.
This Decision Making in the Oil & Gas industry training course highlights the contributions of the wide range of scientific, technical, commercial and business disciplines that contribute to making complex decisions, involving very large investments, while dealing with large amounts of uncertainty.
This training course is designed to equip early- and mid-career professionals, from all disciplines, for working within integrated, multi-disciplinary teams on international development projects, and for future oil business leadership roles.

- Have practical skills and work tools that will be of direct use to them in their future project work
- Understand the background to the industry, and the underlying science of oil and gas formation
- Recognise the importance of effective early planning decisions (concept selection and ‘front-end loading’) in delivering successful projects
