Training content of specific courses and delivery schedules can be tailored to meet the specific needs of an organization. For virtual classroom delivery typically 3 to 4 hours per day, including a 30 minute break, and interactive exercises seems to work well with many groups. 

David has provided training and consulting for some 20 years (following a twenty-year career with major and independent oil and gas companies) in the following topic areas:

Fundamentals of oil and gas supply chains (across all sectors: upstream - midstream - downstream)

Oil and Gas Mergers, Acquisitions and Divestments

Global Upstream Fiscal Designs and their Economic Implications

Oil and Gas Negotiating Strategies and Techniques (with an upstream and/or downstream focus)

Fundamentals of LNG and Gas Supply (Commercial and/or Technical Focus)

Introduction to LNG Floating Storage and Regasification (FSRU) and/or Liquefaction (FLNG) Vessels (Technical, Operational and/or Commercial Focus)

Deep and Machine Learning Applications to Oil, Gas, Solar, Wind and Air Quality Datasets Using Python and Excel

Petroleum Economics and Risked Valuation Analysis

Oil and Gas Strategic Portfolio Management and Analysis

Holistic Approaches to Risk Assessment and Management (Oil, Gas or Energy Focus)

Fundamentals of Renewable Energies and their Sustainability Issues

Elements of the above topics can also be combined to provide a "Oil & Gas or Energy Mini-MBA" intensive program spread over ten or so days.

More information can be provided on how materials from these topics, and others, can be tailored flexibly to provide virtual classroom short-courses.

David Wood has a long-established, international reputation across the oil, gas and energy industries.

This work coincides with the massive industry investments made in recent years in these areas.  His reputation is underpinned by extensive publications in prestige industry journals on a wide range of topical and technical issues. He is also co-author of several books related to these topics (e.g. fiscal terms, economics, LNG, EOR, unconventional reservoirs)

David served as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Natural Gas Science & Engineering from 2014 to 2016 and remains an editorial advisor for that journal. He is co-editor-in-chief for Advances in Geo-Energy Research and an Associate Editor for the journal Petroleum. He has published a large body of technical (geoscience and engineering) and commercial (financial and valuation) work in peer-reviewed journals with high impact factors, and in specialist industry journals. His H-index is about 32. Details of that work (including downloads) can be found at:
