Effective PR in the Oil and Gas Industry Training

The oil and gas industry is growing on daily basis and has become a paramount driver of the global economy. Amid the surging growth in the industry and importance are herculean challenges that public and community relations face in the industry. These challenges are both internal and external. Today, management of oil and gas companies no longer report to their stockholders alone but to stakeholders – stockholders, employees, community members; where the companies operate, etc. This has increased the role of public and community relations professionals in the industry. The great shift in paradigm on how the oil and gas industry is operated makes it to be prone to crisis. As crisis manifest in the oil and gas industry, public relations personnel as the spokespeople of the organisation alongside management have a crucial duty to perform in order to be alert, responsive, make the organisation to recover from crisis, turn those crisis into opportunities, maintain corporate social responsibility and ensure robust community relations as good neighbours.

Advanced Contract Negotiation Training

This is an advanced level training course for oil and gas industry executives and professionals from other industries who are on the leading/cutting edge of management, commerce and technology. When negotiating, suppliers may mention how they are different than their competitors and, therefore, better for you. They often base their difference on common problems that buyers encounter with other suppliers. In sales, that technique is called differentiation. You can use a variation of this technique when negotiating with suppliers. In purchasing it is called “reverse differentiation.” In using the reverse differentiation negotiation technique, you identify common problems that suppliers have with other customers. Then, when negotiations are at an impasse, you appeal to their emotions by showing how working with your company isn’t as painful as working with some of their other customers. The key is that your point(s) of differentiation must be true. If your organization has one or more of the following characteristics, you will be different than most of your suppliers’ customers and can use these characteristics to “sell” your supplier on the benefit of giving you a better deal in order to earn your business.

Prompt paying – Some organizations take 45, 60, or more days to pay their invoices, which is costly to their contractors and suppliers. You will learn that if you agreed a 30-day payment with your contractors and your suppliers, you will be able to use this to your advantage. Also, payment by delivered milestones will be addressed. Effective claims resolution – In order to avoid contractor’s claims and counteract them effectively, the Contract Manager has to develop an understanding of contract types, effective contract management techniques, and contract law and project management. You will learn in this advanced course how to resolve this great challenge. Ideally, in case of dispute you may go for arbitration or mediation and avoid a costly litigation. Low maintenance cost – Total/True Cost of Ownership (TOC) and cost, time, quality (CTQ) are critical. As part of advanced contract management, you will learn how to do your utmost to deliver contract results that minimize maintenance costs by addressing TOC and CTQ issues successfully, professionally and methodically.

Leadership Management For Oil and Gas Executives Training

The turmoil, volatility, uncertainty and risks in the oil and gas industry continue to escalate and it is becoming extremely difficult to model the above parameters and make good decisions based on a reasonable amount of certainty. But good decision making and success is not purely based on risk modelling of uncertainty analysis. What separate leading successful oil and gas companies from other less successful oil and gas companies is the human element, human capital and more specifically, leadership and management skills. If you look at leading successful international companies, they all have one thing in common – advanced, highly effective and humane leadership and management skills. No matter how good your tools are, if you are not able to pull your team together with you and motivate them to attain greater achievements, at a time when risks and challenges increase, you and your company will lose out. Your human resources are both the engine oil and blood circulation in your organisation that make it work and breathe. If your engine oil or blood does not function well, your engine and your body would function poorly. Effective leadership and competent management skills are the essential ingredients to ensure that your company’s operation at all levels runs well with efficiency, quality and productivity. Your decision making and outcomes will improve and could make the difference between loss and profit, between staying in business or going out of business.

Advanced Joint Venture Cash Call (JVCC) for the Oil & Gas Industry Training

In view of an increasingly cost-focused and cash flow business climate, this short course is designed to address the effective design and operated cash call activities and framework that are critical to success of the JV partnership. This is because, in accordance with the terms and conditions in the Joint Venture (JV) / Joint Operating Agreement (JOA), each month the operator must estimate the cash requirements for the upcoming month and request payment from the non-operating associates. Once paid, the advance payment will be offset against the actual expenditures which appear on the Joint Venture Billing statement. It is also demonstrated that without them, the operating oil company is unable to make cash calls for anticipated future capital and operational expenditures from non-operating partners and ensure its success. Oil field and gas field E & P costly activities often suffer immensely whenever any of the partners is unable to meet his obligation to raise capital to finance its share of the joint venture cash calls, which enable the project to exist and operate.

Strategic Management of the Oil and Gas Supply Chains Training

The global oil and gas industry is powered by complex and dynamic supply chains, which have far-reaching implications for safety, health, and the environment. Because of the high-risk nature of the industry, any small mistake in managing its supply chain can have severe repercussions on all participating companies, personnel, the environment and society. Unfortunately, due to the technical nature of the industry, supply chain management (SCM) in the industry was initially considered a ‘soft issue’ until the players in the industry realised that about 80% of their operating expenses are ‘burnt’ on SCM-related activities. Therefore, successfully managing the oil and gas supply chain from a strategic standpoint is not just a cost-saving activity but a strategy for improving the overall performance of the firms in the oil and gas industry. Considering this, the current training course adopts advanced teaching techniques from practical and theoretical perspectives to expose the participants to global best practices in managing the oil and gas supply chains strategically.
