This International Energy Development with Bid Round Simulation online training course provides exposure to international energy projects from the practical perspective of a business development executive seeking to acquire (or divest) upstream and midstream energy projects around the world. Lecture sessions will lead participants through the process of acquiring, managing, and disposing of international energy assets. Topics will include business development processes, approaches to structuring projects, joint ventures, host government relationships, managing threats to international projects (force majeure, expropriation, etc.), the natural resources curse, and construction/procurement.
The Energy Training Centre online training course concludes with a simulated international auction or “bid round” in which teams compete for exploration blocks (based on reserves potential, chance of success, number of wells, and exploration program cost). After the auction, teams will approach each other and seek to negotiate transactions in an effort to improve upon their auction results.
By the end of this Energy Training Centre online training course, participants will be able to:
- How do business development executives at major energy companies use a methodical process to generate and evaluate energy deals?
- What commercial and contractual structures are used by energy companies and governments to structure upstream and midstream projects?
- How do energy companies effectively manage their relationships with host governments around the world?
- How do United States energy projects differ from those around the world?
- What risks are typically encountered in energy projects, and how do companies prepare for and manage them?
- Participation in a multilateral bid round, negotiation, and drilling simulation using exploration blocks
This online training course will utilize a variety of proven online learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension, retention of the information presented. The training course is conducted Online via an Advanced Virtual Learning Platform in the comfort of any location of your choice.
This International Energy Development with Bid Round Simulation online training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but would greatly benefit:
