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.

Frequently asked
Do the programmes cover the energy transition as well as conventional operations?
Both. The curriculum spans oil and gas operations, drilling project and risk management, ESG, and the global energy transition — including how conventional operators finance and sequence the shift. Participants leave able to weigh transition decisions with the same rigour they apply to an operating asset.
Is project finance for energy and infrastructure covered?
Yes — advanced project finance analysis and modelling, PPP and infrastructure finance, and the financing of oil, gas and mining projects all sit in the curriculum. Participants leave able to build and stress a project-finance model and defend the structure to lenders and boards.
How do we enrol a team on an energy programme?
Send an enquiry or brochure request from the programme page; a senior practitioner responds within one business day with the brochure and the options for your group. Team cohorts are arranged through that proposal — including a private, in-house edition when the whole unit should train together.
Who typically attends the energy and utilities programmes?
Engineers, operations managers, project and commercial leaders, and HSE and finance professionals from oil and gas, power, utilities and mining. Regulators and national companies attend alongside private operators, which sharpens the discussion on both sides.
