Risk Management for Oil and Gas

Risk in oil and gas spans process safety, environmental exposure, price volatility, political and fiscal change, and the reputational consequences of a single major incident. This course covers the whole range. Delegates work through process safety and major accident hazard management, environmental and social risk, commodity price and currency exposure, fiscal and political risk in host jurisdictions, and contractor and joint venture risk where an operator carries exposure it does not directly control. Case material is drawn from documented incidents and from the fiscal disputes that have affected African petroleum projects.
