What Our Clients Says About This Course

I have attended multiple PetroKnowledge courses and have found them to be eye opening, insightful and very relevant to my role in the petroleum industry. Special mention to the instructor who took me through Financial Modelling in the Oil & Gas Industry , he really broke down statistics and modeling in bite size chunks and I came out equipped as a statician guru!!

M

M. Tugwete

The course was very interesting especially in the application of theoretical analysis to real life situations. This has helped improved my understanding of these subject areas and will be applied in relevant job functions

E

Emmanuel Marcus

The company project valuation metrics were very useful to reinforce my prior knowledge of IRR and NPV. It was interesting to discover the limitations of these methods if the cash-flows were non conventional. It was helpful to learn about company valuation using market data and determining the associated risk using beta values
