Course Objective:

The fundamental aim of all project execution is to be on schedule and within budget. One of the challenges engineers face prior to project execution is defining a realistic project budget. The other challenge they face during the project execution is then to keep within that budget. In an ever increasingly competitive oil and gas industry, engineers, Finance, and Human resource managers need to demonstrate that they understand the commercial aspects as well as the technical ones. Defining and delivering projects on schedule and within budget is therefore a key attribute. One of the professional skills required for planning and executing an oil and gas project is project cost estimating, budgeting and control. 

The purpose of this course is to provide the tools and technique that are commonly used in project cost estimation, budgeting and control and management of oil and gas projects. The participants will be exposed to typical work scope and key phases in oil and gas project development. The important aspects of time and cost in developing the budget will be explained. The course will help the engineers, Finance, Human resources and officers involved in oil and Gas projects in preparing their discipline cost estimates and project budget as well as controlling the budget.
