Overview

This Training Course is concerned with one of the most important activities in the development of oil and gas business-forecasting the oil prices, as the basis for planning and investment. As we have learned that oil prices are depending on many factors and those price simulations need to be much more stringent in order to determine the actual risk that our investment is facing. A critical component of decision-making in the energy industry deals with the aspect of “Whither oil prices?” Where do we expect prices to move in the near- and distant-terms?
