Upstream Oil & Gas Course Overview
The original “Oil & Gas 101″ course.
Despite numerous emerging alternative fuel technologies, fossil-based fuels will continue to be a dominant energy source well into the future. Nevertheless, the oil and gas industry has seen its ups and downs over the past few years. Oil prices are more than double what they were in early 2009, while natural gas prices have uncharacteristically lagged behind, even dropping below $2 in the spring of 2012. What has driven prices in opposite directions?
This seminar presents the fundamentals of the upstream sector — the processes and technologies, and the risks and economics of the business. At the end of this two-day seminar, you will gain a better understanding of the hydrocarbon resource potential, the activities undertaken by the petroleum industry to explore for and produce oil & gas, and the various factors that determine fossil fuel prices.
With his industry experience in Canada and overseas, and his presentation style, Mike Edwards is amply qualified to give you the big picture.
