From Voume to Value
This 2-hour live workshop shows you how oil and gas assets are valued and how that valuation drives real investment decisions. The focus is on the working method used inside E&P companies — the actual process that determines whether a project gets funded.You'll build an economic model in Excel from the ground up, starting with a production profile and ending with the metrics that decide a project's future: NPV, IRR, payback period, and economic life. Along the way you'll see how each input — oil price, capital cost, operating cost, and fiscal terms — shapes the outcome, and how the two main global fiscal systems (concessions and Production Sharing Contracts) change the economics of the same barrel.The session is led by Mark Cook, SPE Distinguished Lecturer and published author, and is built around real Excel models you can follow during the workshop and keep afterward.By the end, you'll understand how a barrel of oil becomes a dollar of value, and how companies decide which projects to back at Final Investment Decision.Format: 2 hours, live on Zoom (with a short break)Date: 13 July 2026 — 9:00 PM Indian Time / 4:30 PM UK TimeTrainer: Mark Cook, Delta-T Energy Consultancy — SPE Distinguished LecturerAll content in this session is copyrighted by Mark Cook.
