Upstream Project Finance & Valuation<\/span><\/h2>\n

INTRODUCTION<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

In today\u2019s competitive oil and gas industry, the ability to analyse complex financial data, evaluate petroleum projects, and make sound investment decisions is a critical leadership skill. Yet, many managers underutilise Excel, relying on it as a simple calculator rather than a powerful modelling and decision-making tool.<\/span><\/p>\n
