The oil and gas industry influences virtually every aspect of the global economy. The Industry has made massive investments and hires professionals with diverse backgrounds and qualifications. It is common observation that key talents hired from outside of the industry as well as the support function professional within the oil and gas industry are limited in sufficient understanding of the oil and gas business. Similarly,

Companies providing services to the oil and gas industry face exactly the same issues.

Mini MBA for Oil & Gas and Energy Management is a comprehensive course designed for those seeking business advantages. It mainly covers the upstream (exploration and production), and touches upon the mid-stream and downstream sectors of the industry as well.
