PETROLEUM PROJECT EVALUATION : TECHNIQUES AND APPLICATION (From Conventional to Modern Methods)
A three day, hands on, Excel-based Course

COURSE OVERVIEW

This course will:

• learn the basic of economic/financial evaluation techniques as well as the practical implementation of these techniques to petroleum project assessment in Indonesian PSC Regime
• enable participants to identify and quantifying risk using sensitivity and scenario analysis and Monte Carlo Simulation
• learn how to asses the value of information and value of flexibility in managing the uncertainty of the petroleum project
• bring participants up to date on recent development in project modeling and evaluation using Real Option Valuation (ROV) techniques.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This course is ideal introduction for Engineers, Geologist, Economist, Finance, Asset and Project Manager who want to learn from conventional to advance project evaluation methodologies in petroleum industry.

KEY BENEFIT
At the end of the course participants will:

• Appreciate that static expected DCF NPV is not enough to measure the whole value of a petroleum project.
• Discover the project value include the value of managerial flexibility to adjust their action to take full advantage of upside potential value of a project and to minimize the downside risk of a project by learning from new information and flexibility strategy to response the uncertainty of a project in the future.
• Have acquired the skills to identify, model and evaluate the petroleum case in Indonesia using all available techniques (conventional to modern approach).

COMPUTER REQUIREMENTS
As the course is Excel-Based, it would be highly desirable if participants could bring with them their own laptop computer (recommended).
