Course Overview
Understanding how value is created across the upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors.
Course Overview
The global petroleum industry is built on an interconnected value chain that runs from exploration and production through transportation, processing, and final product marketing. This programme offers a structured understanding of how commercial value is generated at each link of the chain, how technical operations influence profitability, and how global market forces drive strategic decisions. Participants will gain clarity on the economics, logistics, and commercial structures that shape the energy system, enabling stronger planning, negotiation, and operational alignment in oil and gas environments.
