Petroleum Budgeting and Performance Workshop - In-house training by PetroSkillsThis course can be conducted on site at your location exclusively for your staff. Lewis Carroll once said "If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there." Global oil and gas companies are becoming more and more complex in their operations and the projects are growing larger and more expensive. As prices and costs fluctuate widely in a matter of months, it is more important than ever to be able to create budgets and make plans that are accurate and flexible. The company's budget can either be its road map to success or its hindrance to excellence. Historically energy companies have relied on the outdated budget processes built solely to control costs and not manage operations. Costs should be tied to revenues to insure that the company is achieving its greatest potential and highest level of success. The ability to properly create and manage the operations through the company's budgets and plans is paramount in the 21st century oil and gas company. This seminar is an introduction to Budgeting and Planning techniques designed to help the participant better understand the underlying dynamics of operational inputs and how they determine performance, which should eventually lead to better decision making concerning products and services, work flows, capital investments, as well as the day-to-day monitoring of the business.One personal computer is provided, at additional cost, for each two participants.Find out more
