As the global demand for energy continues to rise, the complexity of managing energy projects has grown exponentially. Organizations involved in oil, gas, and renewable energy projects face an evolving risk landscape, tight regulatory frameworks, and the critical need for well-structured contractual and insurance frameworks. The course Energy Contracts and Insurance Essentials combines the foundational and advanced elements of two strategic domains—energy contracts and energy insurance—offering participants a comprehensive, industry-relevant curriculum.
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global energy demand is expected to increase by 25% by 2040. Simultaneously, the energy sector is seeing increased volatility with supply chain disruptions, price fluctuations, and geopolitical tensions. These factors underscore the need for robust energy contracts that are flexible, risk-sensitive, and aligned with strategic corporate goals. Similarly, energy insurance is vital to safeguarding capital-intensive projects from financial losses due to operational, environmental, cyber, or liability risks. In fact, recent data from the Marsh Global Energy Risk Engineering Report suggests that over 70% of large-scale energy projects face financial risks from underinsurance or poorly structured risk-transfer mechanisms.
This course equips professionals with the necessary expertise to navigate, negotiate, and manage various energy contracts, from upstream production sharing contracts to downstream power purchase agreements. Simultaneously, it provides deep insights into energy insurance fundamentals, covering asset coverage, liability, cyber risks, offshore and renewable projects, and the importance of regulatory compliance.
Participants will gain strategic understanding and analytical tools to assess contract structures, minimize liabilities, and ensure comprehensive coverage for diverse energy operations. This holistic approach enables organizations to optimize performance, enhance legal compliance, and protect investments in a volatile energy environment.
Key highlights of this training include:
In-depth exploration of upstream, midstream, and downstream energy contract types.
