Financial Evaluation of Oil, Gas and Mining Projects

The Financing Natural Resources: Oil, Gas and Mining Projects training course begins with the structure and characteristics of natural-resource projects, their development cycles, principal participants and available financing approaches. It then considers project economics, cash-flow generation and valuation, alongside the identification, allocation and assessment of commercial, technical, completion, market and political risks. The agenda progresses to funding structures, debt capacity and financial analysis, including the use of forecasts, sensitivities and relevant financing ratios.

The course subsequently examines the particular financing considerations of oil and gas developments, including reserves, production, contractual arrangements, revenue exposure and lending structures, before turning to mining projects and their geological, construction, operational and commodity-price features. It also addresses due diligence, security and key finance documentation, together with contractual and risk-mitigation arrangements involving sponsors, lenders, contractors and purchasers. The concluding topics bring these elements together through financing structure assessment, risk allocation and the analysis of project viability across the natural-resources sectors.
