SFE07 Financing of Oil and Gas Operations: Principles, Practices and Analytical Tools

Duration: 2 Weeks
 

Course Objectives:

The industry is highly capital-intensive, and so strong returns are critical to attracting low-cost debt and equity capital. In fact, while many of the integrated companies have the cash flow and financial wherewithal to fund capital spending internally, they frequently rely on external debt and new equity capital, particularly to finance larger acquisitions and mergers. The industry has also experienced rapidly growing needs for capital because of a number of different forces that have driven many changes to the financing of the oil and gas industry for some time now. Thus, the combination of the capital-intensive nature of the industry and the large and varied risks has resulted in financing innovations of a high order. This course, therefore, aims to provide participants with the knowledge and skills, which finance managers use deploy in financing of oil and gas operation and capital investment decisions.
