The International Petroleum Management Training Course offered by Imperial Corporate Training Institute is designed for professionals operating in high-stakes global petroleum contexts who require advanced skills in business stewardship, operational performance, and strategic thinking. It tackles real-world corporate issues such as volatility in global markets, multi-jurisdictional operations, upstream planning guided by risk, and strategic implications of profitability along the entire petroleum value chain. Participants will learn the corporate enablers of exploration, production, logistics, and negotiation of international supply, gaining an alternative view of how decisions made at the senior management level operate to enhance efficiency, sustainability, and shareholder value.
The course will also transcend technical orientation with a corporate management approach, helping decision-makers assess international market scenarios, manage upstream and downstream assets, evaluate operational trade-offs, and act on behalf of organizational targets within complicated, interdependent, and globalizing industry contexts that make-up the oil and gas business. The course will also reflect the persistent crisis management challenges regularly encountered by oil and gas companies, including forced cost control, management of investment risk, watching regulatory reform, understanding the geopolitical driving forces of oil and gas events, and cross-border challenges to business structures. Each lesson is structured to provide corporate value in situational decision-making, development of executive judgment, boardroom engagement, and long-term enterprises in positioning petroleum businesses.
