Life Cycle Analysis for Oil & Gas in a Low-Carbon World
Every barrel now carries two prices — the market’s and the atmosphere’s — and the second is increasingly written into the first.

Buyers, lenders and regulators increasingly ask the same question of oil and gas: what is the carbon intensity of this barrel, this cargo, this asset? Life cycle analysis is the discipline that answers it defensibly. This programme works LCA as applied to upstream, midstream and downstream assets — system boundaries, allocation choices and their consequences, data quality on real operations, and Scope 1–3 emissions built into one coherent account. It closes on use: emissions-intensity benchmarking, abatement options ranked by cost, and the LCA that survives an auditor.
What you will do
Who attends
HSE and sustainability professionals in oil and gas; facilities and process engineers; carbon-reporting teams; commercial staff answering buyer and lender carbon questions.
Programme agenda
Built for the decisions no textbook prepares you for
I.The method
- LCA fundamentals: boundaries, functional units, allocation — choices with consequences
- Data quality on real operations: measured, estimated, defaulted
- Scopes 1, 2 and 3 across upstream, midstream and downstream
II.The asset account
- Emissions intensity per barrel, per cargo, per facility
- Methane: measurement, reconciliation and the reporting gap
- Benchmarking without flattery: where the asset truly sits
III.Using the numbers
- Abatement ranked by cost per tonne: flaring, methane, power, efficiency
- What buyers, lenders and regulators ask — and the evidence they accept
- The LCA under audit: documentation that holds
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.
