This programme covers the specialised financial management, accounting and reporting practices of the upstream, midstream and downstream sectors. Participants examine exploration and evaluation accounting under IFRS 6, successful efforts and full cost approaches, joint operating agreements and IFRS 11, production sharing and concession arrangements, reserves classification under SPE-PRMS, depletion, impairment under IAS 36, decommissioning provisions under IAS 37, and capital project economics. The context reflects national oil companies and their partners across the Gulf.

Training Methodology
Applied Project & Assessment
Applied Project
Participants complete an accounting and financial case for a Gulf upstream joint operation: recording exploration costs, partner billings and depletion, measuring a decommissioning provision, testing an asset for impairment at a lower oil price and evaluating a development project's NPV and break-even price.
Assessment
Short diagnostic at the start, practical tasks linked to each learning outcome, and evaluation of the applied project against published criteria.
