Oil, gas and mining projects tie up substantial capital for years, carry significant risk, and matter to governments as much as to the companies that build them — which is why weak financial evaluation is so expensive. This masterclass builds the skills to evaluate financing decisions, recommend appropriate sources of finance and manage the financial risks of volatile oil, gas and mineral prices. Cases span upstream oil and gas delivery, green-field and later-phase mining projects, and financing structures from balance sheet to limited recourse. Equipment finance approaches — including Islamic alternatives — and the effective application of interest rate, currency and commodity derivatives are worked through against projects like your own.
