Oil and gas companies should create value with uncertain prices, technical and environmental obstacles, and increasingly hard-to-find resources in a complex global trade system.  In this this PetroKnowledge training course, we discuss the art and science of decision making in modern petroleum organizations with an emphasis on methods, data analytics, and human aspects. The PetroKnowledge course covers applications from oil and gas exploration and production to midstream and downstream projects.

For an effective learning experiences, we use Microsoft Excel, and to some extent, Spreadsheet simulation software.

This PetroKnowledge training course will highlight:

  • The value chain in petroleum industry and their data analysis needs
  • decision making processes and tools
  • Human biases in decision making
  • The role of information, statistics, and modern analytics in decision making
  • Applications in exploration, development, production, and transportation of petroleum

What are the Goals?

We aim to enhance participants’ understanding of decision making by focusing on data, methods, and behavioral aspects. We explore the role of intuitive versus analytical reasoning in decision-making. We will also discuss how sound approaches to decision-making can influence sustained development and innovation in the petroleum business.

At the end of this PetroKnowledge training course, you will:

  • Understand the importance of good decision making in petroleum business
  • Understand the relationship between data, uncertainty, and the concept of risk
  • Gain skills in effective formulation of analytics
  • Understand the human biases and their effect on decisions
  • Learn about industry best practice and their real-world implementations

Who is this Training Course for?

This PetroKnowledge training course is useful for analysts, engineers, and managers involved in the data gathering, processing, interpretations, and supporting decisions. In short, all of us.

This PetroKnowledge training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:
