Financial Modeling and Petroleum Project EconomicsDuring these two units, participants will gain an integrated and practical understanding of financial analysis tools and techniques for the oil and gas industry that are related to building proforma project analysis, learning different methods of financial analysis, and applying different risk analysis tools to projects. The instructional format capitalizes on a careful balance of formal lectures by leading experts and specially developed workshops and business games.


This business game is an integral part of the learning process. Participants, divided into teams, make real-life technical, financial, and market decisions that commonly confront managers today. Team performance is measured on a financial basis and is catalyzed by healthy competition.

Participants, working in teams, will evaluate an oil and gas business opportunity in the Republic of “Oceana,” near Indonesia. They build a financial model that will integrate various risks associated with the investment. This model will utilize a proposed Production Sharing Agreement and incorporate revenue, capital and operating costs, financing costs, and tax projections for the life of the project.

Throughout the program, teams will add layers of complexity to the model by incorporating the different types of risk analysis tools presented in the lectures. The teams will present their project analysis to a decision review board by outlining the risk profile and expected performance measures of the project. They then learn the outcome of those decisions. Emphasis will be placed on the practical implementation of the tools presented in lecture and on developing practical financial modeling skills.

NEGOTIATION OF THE EXTENSION OF A CONCESSION AGREEMENT IN PETROLAND

In this workshop, teams are asked to negotiate an extension to a Republic of Petroland Concession Agreement between an international oil company (“IOC”) and the national oil company. Major Corporation, a large international oil company, has been operating a large offshore oil field in Petroland for 20 years in partnership with Petroland Corporation, the national oil company of the Republic of Petroland. The Concession Agreement is due to terminate in seven years; however, production from the field is beginning to decline, and a major enhanced oil recovery investment is required to maintain the production levels. The investment requires about five years to achieve and the benefit will be achieved long after the agreement would terminate. Major Corporation will make the required investments only if the agreement is extended for a minimum of 15 years. Teams representing both parties are asked to follow the Getting to Yes process to negotiate a mutually satisfactory agreement. In the process, they will learn how to apply this universal negotiating process developed at Harvard University.

Participants, divided into teams, compete with each other in the development of an integrated oil company in Sandland, a fictitious country on the west coast of Africa. Teams explore for and develop oil and gas reserves and then decide on the optimal way to develop and market the production. In each session, the teams are given background information on the technical and economic aspects of the decision to be made during each session. They then make decisions that require the commitment of both capital and operating funds. The business simulation takes place over a 20-year period and individual teams are evaluated on their financial performance during this period. Decisions are made during 3 years of exploration, 2 years of development, and 15 years of production.

Petroleum Project Economics and Risk AnalysisDuring this five-day program, participants will learn, in a practical and realistic manner, how to analyze the financial performance of oil and gas investments from both the project and corporate reporting perspectives. They will be asked to build financial models for typical oil and gas projects and then identify and incorporate all major risks into the analysis. A major part of the learning is achieved through team participation in a challenging “business game” where they must present their team’s recommendations to the Board. The instructional format consists of lectures by a respected specialist and team participation in a classic IHRDC business game. The business game typically takes almost one half of the instruction time and is highly rated for its effectiveness in internalizing learning and generating discussion among team participants. In addition to the lectures and business game, this course will utilize additional exercises and case studies to further enrich the classroom experience. This method of blended learning has proven to be an ideal way for participants to learn the practical needs of today‘s international energy markets.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

This program is designed specifically for energy managers, supervisors, and key employees from broad functional areas, such as finance, technology, and project development who wish to expand their knowledge of investment and risk analysis in managing, developing, and reporting on energy projects, financial modeling, and petroleum project economics.

This business game is an integral part of the learning process. Participants, working in teams, will evaluate an oil and gas business opportunity in the Republic of Oceana, near Indonesia. They build a financial model that will integrate various risks associated with the investment. This model will utilize a proposed Production Sharing Agreement and incorporate revenue, capital, and operating costs, financing costs, and tax projections for the life of the project. Throughout the program teams will add layers of complexity to the model by incorporating different risk analysis tools presented in the lectures. The teams will present their project analysis to a decision review board by outlining the risk profile and expected performance measures of the project. They then learn the outcome of those decisions. Emphasis will be placed on the practical implementation of the tools presented and on developing practical financial

modeling skills.

UNIT TWO MAY 2 – 3, 2018 STRATEGIC PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION (2 DAYS)


This three-day program focuses on the communications tools and best practices that will improve the impact of your communication skills, teaching you how to present information more strategically and enhancing your ability to persuade colleagues and supervisors using both written and verbal communications. You will learn how to use concise editing to become a more effective communicator and to develop persuasive presentations that generate a powerful emotional response. The program will also teach you to motivate large and small groups with the skillful use of PowerPoint. Taught in a practical and hands-on manner, techniques will also improve your email communications skills, making them easier to write and more effective. This session will also strengthen your public speaking confidence and ability to coach others who are less experienced at public speaking. Exercises and assignments that use strategic communication tools and feedback, are designed to enhance your communication skills. At the end of the program, you will deliver a live presentation that will be video-taped to provide you with immediate feedback by the instructor and classroom peers to improve your presentation skills.

Because the strategic plan defines the “roadmap” for an organization over a five to 10-year horizon, knowing how to build and implement one is a “must” skill for an effective manager. In this two-day workshop, you will learn how to use the widely used “resource-based” strategic planning process by applying it to the newly formed international affiliate of a national oil company. Working in teams, you will identify the organization’s mission and vision statements, review and understand the drivers for organizational development, including such factors as changing trends, competition, new technologies, business focus, expanding or contracting resources, and changes in the marketplace. You will learn how to develop the strategic plan by applying this process to this practical application and then we will introduce the Balanced Scorecard process, so you will learn how to successfully implement such a plan. You will leave this workshop ready to apply your newly developed knowhow to your own organization.

Unconventional Oil and Gas Project Development WorkshopThis program is devoted to the project development of unconventional oil and gas resources. Participants will learn the fundamentals and business aspects of each stage of the development process through lectures and participation in an interactive shale business simulation game. Participants will also gain an understanding of the technical, economic, commercial, financial, and regulatory considerations that must be integrated to successfully evaluate and develop an unconventional resource. During the business simulation, teams are provided with background information on the technical and economic aspects of the various project assignments. The learning simulator tracks each team’s technical analysis as well as financial performance, including capital and operating costs, and the revenue over the life of the project. At the end of the course, each team presents its decisions and financial outcome, learns how it has performed in comparison to other teams and, if it is the best performing team, wins the team prize.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

This program is ideally suited for those seeking a comprehensive understanding of the fundamentals of unconventional resources and the steps necessary to manage a project from concept to field-wide development. Participants may come from many different backgrounds such as technology, management, regulatory, finance, and operations.

In-House Programs and Opportunities IHRDC can also bring training directly to your organization by contracting for one of

our In-House Oil and Gas Business Workshops. These intensive programs guarantee

a practical, private, and effective learning experience for you and your colleagues.

Designed around IHRDC’s comprehensive Management Programs, these workshops

are ideal for learning the essentials of the international energy business.

Each in-house workshop combines lectures by experienced energy business specialists with a classic IHRDC business

simulation game, case studies, and group exercises. In the business simulation games, participants work in teams to

develop and manage an energy business over a simulated 20-year period. A business simulator is used to record

each team’s decisions and measure overall team performance. This form of learning has proven to be ideal because it

challenges team members to reach decisions through debate and discussion, while fostering collaboration with industry

peers from diverse backgrounds. In essence, participants learn from each other in the context of a realistic case study.

Our programs consistently receive very high praise. Many multinational companies schedule in-house workshops

annually to develop the important business knowledge and skills of their managers and high potential employees.

We recommend you review these wide-ranging offerings on the following pages and let us know how we can assist in

fulfilling your training needs.

IHRDC began building Learning Simulation (LSIM) Games in the late 1980’s to apply the Principles of Adult Learning to all IHRDC offerings. From that point onward, IHRDC revised its instructional program design to include team participation in a “Serious” Learning Simulation Game for about 50% of the learning time. The typical response of the participants was and continues to be remarkable.

IHRDC’S 25 GENERIC LSIM GAMES

IHRDC has developed 25 Learning Simulation Games along the full oil and gas value chain. In the process, we built a comprehensive LSIM “Toolkit” of resources: models, correlations, and web-enabled, graphical interfaces for technical, financial and economic analyses, that make the design and development of custom programs much faster to prepare.

47

Turn Learning into a Challenging and Enjoyable Experience with IHRDC’s Innovative Learning Simulation Games

Adults learn best from each other rather than from a lecturer…when they are actively engaged in the learning process…when they are dealing with challenging assignments – the more real, the better… and… when solutions to assignments have practical and immediate application and value.

“Absolutely fantastic and engaging.” “You cannot have it better. Excellent capstone program.” “Very comprehensive and enjoyable.” “The program content is very rich and insightful.”

In these unique programs, participants become immediately engaged in a challenging learning setting and gain new insights by making critical, real-life business decisions. In addition, because we compress many project years into our simulations, participants see the longer-term impact of their decisions, and grasp the value of information and alternative choices.

The practical nature of our team-based programs builds a broad array of knowledge and skills for the participants including team formation, project management, problem solving, decision making and presentation skills.
