Just How Much is Project Management Worth? Using Incremental Economics to Value Cycle Time, Cost, and Revenue of Petroleum Projects
This webinar is designed for anyone involved in planning and delivering economic project results on petroleum projects. It will introduce and use incremental economics to show how project management practices effect delivery of economic results on petroleum projects.
Webinar attendees will be provided with the opportunity to download - at no cost - spreadsheet to scope the ‘incremental project’ calculations.
Webinar Objectives
-
To describe how incremental economics can be used to quantify the value of project management practices.
-
To demonstrate how to use the approach on three example petroleum projects: a deepwater field development, a gas plant, and an unconventional asset
What Will Attendees Learn?
-
How to scope the effects of project cycle time, project capital costs, and net income effect project return
-
How to use incremental economics to estimate the value of effective project management practices
-
How different Project Management practices effect project economics
Who Should Attend?
This webinar is intended for project managers, asset development managers, and those responsible for corporate project management processes. It is also useful for project planning and operations personnel, and management and field development planning personnel with responsibility for delivering project results.
