The Oil and Gas Industry Overview Version 2

Has there ever been a more flourishing time in the history of the oil and gas industry? The continued growth in demand and an industry struggling to meet this voracious demand have pushed oil prices to an all-time high. Big oil companies, even while investing heavily in exploration, technology, operational improvement, and research and development, are still left with huge surpluses in an industry so far known only as a modest return. In reality, there has never been a more challenging time for the oil and gas industry. While oil companies face tough challenges in finding new sources of oil and gas to replace the old ones, the emerging oil demand and supply equation renders some of the world's most powerful nations increasingly dependent on some of the world's most unstable regions. As a result, companies are applying advanced technologies and improved processes to meet growing demand, as well as working to keep abreast of the constantly shifting geopolitical landscape so critical to success in this sector. This course provides a high-level view of the industry environment, including its scope and structure, and navigates learners through relevant business and regulatory issues. Also examined are the forces shaping this industry, its key players, business drivers and challenges, and the strategic solutions for these challenges. A report on the state of affairs in the oil and gas industry and analysis based insights are also presented. The overall purpose of this course is not to make learners industry experts, but to help them get a feel of the industry and learn some of the winning strategies the key players are successfully applying.
