Building EXCEL Models for Oil and Gas Industry Analysis by Distance Learning
David Wood offers tailored training to build and develop Excel workbook models by distance learning to suit the standards, availability and needs of individuals. Participants are provided with Excel workbooks highlighting models from various sectors of the oil, gas and energy supply chain addressing cash flow, fiscal, risk, statistical and valuation analysis. The annotated workbook models include tasks and problems drawn from the industry for the participants to solve in a time scale that suits their availability. Communications and help regarding the models are provided via e-mail exchanges.
The models begin with simple concepts and structures solving oil, gas or energy problems and progress gradually to more complex workbooks, some driven by visual basic for applications (VBA) macros. The models are accompanied by brief presentations for the relevant industry sectors and topics covered. Participants can progress through the materials at their own pace and will be fed materials at time intervals to suit them. To progress through the twenty individual workbook models involved delegates should expect to take between two and twelve weeks depending upon the time they dedicate to the material and their prior knowledge of Excel. The big advantages over classroom training with this distance learning approach is that: 1) the participant is in control of the pace of learning, can focus upon their own specific requirements; 2) the participant can ask questions by e-mail to help clarify specific calculations within a model; 3) the participants are not hurried through the material or delayed by the progress of other participants.
The Excel workbooks provided for the training can be restricted to oil and gas topics or they can also include models addressing renewable energy, nuclear and other power generation options.
