Oil Industry Economics Fundamentals Training Course (Online / Remote)

1Summary

Financing, discovering, developing, transporting and marketing energy resources all rest on the same economic foundations, and getting them wrong can decide whether an oil organisation succeeds or fails. This Oil Industry Economics Fundamentals Training Course from the Arab British Fellowship Training Academy uses real-life examples, experience and case studies to let participants learn and debate these issues collectively, before grounding that discussion in core economic theory.

By working through practical applications alongside the underlying concepts, participants build the understanding needed to see how economic principles drive the oil sector's success in the twenty-first century.
