About

In this online course, you’ll gain a better understanding of the oil and gas industry by studying the economics behind it.

Overview

The global oil and gas sector remains a key component of the energy industry, and an important part of the economic development strategy for many developing countries. The way that governments manage these resources has a great influence on the investment decisions of major oil and gas companies.

Careers

This course is valuable learning for careers within energy companies, consultancy, government, and environmental or regulatory departments of energy.

Reaching beyond the private sector, it’s also ideal for those looking to progress within governments and NGOs, who need high-quality graduates with an excellent understanding of the energy sector.

Programme Structure

With guidance from energy economists and researchers, you’ll learn:
  • to make sense of petroleum policies
  • how governments influence oil and gas developments around the world
  • how decisions on taxation and fiscal rules influence private sector investment
  • how oil and gas firms make investment decisions, including whether or not to drill an exploration well, or develop an entire gas production project
  • how governments can design and implement various fiscal devices to collect tax and rents from the oil and gas sector for the benefit of wider society
