Course Overview

Joint ventures (JVs) are indispensable in the oil and gas industry, an arena defined by high stakes, capital intensity, and technical complexity. By enabling multiple entities to pool resources, expertise, and risks, JVs serve as a strategic backbone for exploration, production, and other operations in this dynamic sector. However, managing these collaborative arrangements, especially their financial intricacies, requires a robust understanding of joint venture accounting and the critical processes surrounding cash calls.
