3 AUSTIN, TEXAS AT&T Executive Education and Conference Center CANMORE, ALBERTA Silvertip Resort Strategic Sourcing & Risk Management Module Austin, Texas AT&T Executive Education and Conference Center, McCombs School of Business Markets & Valuation Module Canmore, Alberta Silvertip Resort, Alberta School of Business THE POLITICAL ECONOMY OF ENERGY This session covers the geopolitics of global energy markets. We start by examining the case for the continued dominance of hydrocarbons as an energy source for the near future. Other sources of energy, both renewables as well as those involving newer technologies such as fracking, will also be examined in the context of carbon management, environment regulation, climate change, and national security. Economics and politics of energy transmission, such as oil pipelines and electricity grids will be discussed to conclude with the evolving nature of national energy policies. ENERGY FINANCE This session provides participants with an in-depth understanding of energy finance by addressing three areas within an energy context: pricing, asset valuation, and risk management. The program begins by placing energy markets in the context of global financial markets, and analyzing their subsequent reactions. DECISION MAKING & RISK MANAGEMENT This session presents relevant approaches for modeling decisions and uncertainties that arise in the context of oil and gas project management. These risks include those associated with estimates of hydrocarbon reserves and recovery rates, as well as the economic risks related to investment costs and oil prices. MANAGING EXTERNAL STAKEHOLDER RELATIONSHIPS This session examines the management of ethical, legal, political and cultural risks (and opportunities) associated with developing energy projects in emerging markets, including upstream and downstream oil and gas investments. We will focus on companies social responsibility efforts, the management of relationships with external stakeholders, and how politics, culture and law structure companies relationships with governments and other stakeholders in emerging markets. ENERGY MARKETS & INVESTMENTS This session concentrates on the financial evaluation of major energy investments. During this session, potential investments in oil sands production, oilsands upgrading, new and retrofit refineries, and renewable energy will be discussed. For each project type, the key value proposition will be examined and a financial case for the investment will be developed. MANAGING THE PETROLEUM SUPPLY CHAIN This interactive session will examine the trends and issues relating to the petroleum supply chain and how this area may be improved. The discussion of petroleum supply chain management will be supplemented by a short case study designed to illustrate the interplay between various production and market factors in the management of a petroleum supply chain. BUSINESS VALUATION This session walks participants through the valuation tools and techniques used to estimate enterprise values and large-scale investments in power plants, refineries, and oil and gas development projects. The majority of the class features hands-on exercises using Excel and other add-in packages with the goal to gain modelbuilding and interpretation skills and become an intelligent consumer of models encountered when valuing projects and companies. MERGERS, ACQUISITIONS & CORPORATE GOVERNANCE The financial and economic aspects of corporate mergers, restructuring, downsizing and bankruptcy will be examined. Relations between corporate structure and performance will be investigated along with potential market inefficiencies. Specific attention will be paid to the roles of top management and boards of directors to examine best practices within a corporate governance structure.
