"As a geologist, I feel this course has opened my eyes to thinking not just as a reserve discoverer, but also as a value creator for the company. It's definitely worth taking for anyone who wants to understand the business behind the scenes."

Coming from an oil and gas background, a lot of the terminologies and concepts were familiar. Would have appreciated the documentations on the feasibility studies and economic analyses. Overall, great lecture on concepts to look at when evaluating the economics of the hydrocarbon industry.

Great knowledge and explanation. It would be better if it completed with quiz and test and official certificate for whom pass it

By Nathan Tarrant on 1/31/2023

Very detailed and informative. It has helped me immensely to understand the economics of oil deals, which will help me a lot in my new job. Thank you.

I found that this course was very detailed in its information for the most part but it is quite dry in regards to the delivery. Instructor seems very intelligent and knowledgeable but it could benefit from a revision to the presentation.

By Javier Colque López on 11/23/2018

Amplié los pocos conocimientos que tenia en tema de hidrocarburos y ahora con las muchas preguntas aclaradas y nuevos conocimientos, podre mejorar su aplicación.

By Alexculpado on 10/27/2018

sim era o que espera, faltou apenas recursos mais avançados na ilustração e explicação dos processos, ou seja, mais computação gráfica.

By Enrique Palomares Alpuche on 3/5/2018

This course shows the big picture of the oil industry. Also, it has very good examples so as to understand concepts better. I recommend it to everyone who is interested in the oil industry.

By Jois Sreenivas on 1/4/2018

Though the course content is comprehensive, there are many 'bloomers' in explanation some of which i have noted in review. They need to be rectified to make this course more appealing.

By Avik Munshi on 10/11/2017

Clarity of content is good for students. Although quality of explanation can be improved. Technical content is fairly up to the mark but the presentation of financial information needs improvement. Definitely recommended for students seeking future in the Oil and Gas industry. Young Technical professionals should also check this out to develop a greater understanding of the field. - - shukaran
