The Oxford Princeton Programme Announces Return of Highly-Acclaimed Course
on Oil and Gas Geopolitics
Garner New Insights on Today's Most Critical Energy Geopolitical Challenges and Opportunities
PRINCETON, NJ - April 2009:
The Oxford Princeton Programme, the world's leading provider of education and
training solutions to the energy, commodity and derivatives markets, is pleased
to announce the return of its highly-acclaimed course:
The Changing Geopolitics of Oil and Gas: Identifying and Managing Political Risk
8-9 June 2009 - London, UK (Prospero House)
10-11 September 2009 - Singapore
15-16 September 2009 - Washington, D.C., USA
This two-day workshop, which debuted last year to highly positive marks by
attendees, explores geopolitical context within which oil and gas companies
operate and how it affects daily business practices. This will be done with a
view toward understanding particular geographical locales and associated
political risks. Regions to be covered include: United States, Africa, Latin
America, and Middle East and Asia. Special emphasis will be placed on the rise
of resource nationalism, as evidenced by the more than 100 national oil
companies that currently exist. Moreover, political risk tools and strategies
will be presented so that delegates learn concrete skills that they can use in
their work.
"Energy industry participants, now, more than ever, require a thorough
understanding of the geopolitical drivers and dynamics that affect the entire
value chain and their impact on the bottom line", says Jobert E. Abueva, Global
Marketing Director, The Oxford Princeton Programme. "This program offers a
360-degree perspective providing participants the foundation and tools to
mitigate risk and maximize reward."
This year, a number of critical issues will be specifically addressed:
- Africa
How Nigerian rebels/maritime piracy affects oil production/transport
geopolitics. How reforms to the national oil company are proceeding and what it
means for you.
- Europe
How the events of late 2008 and early 2009 have affected security of supply -
Russia and its relationship to its ex-satellite states. What does this mean for
gas infrastructure going forward?
- Asia
China is the regional heavyweight and has made gains through its Go Abroad
policy. Where is China and how is it out-competing Western oil companies? What
does this mean in terms of geopolitics and strategy and public policy?
- Latin America
The region has drifted to the left with leaders such as Chavez and Morales
controlling vast quantities of oil and natural gas. Which way are the political
winds blowing? Will extra-legal nationalization continue or will companies be
invited back in?
Who Should Attend: all energy professionals involved in considering
political risk mitigation strategies including executives, middle managers,
analysts, in-house lawyers, project managers, consultants and government
officials are encouraged to attend.
16 CPE credits awarded for this course in North America.
