- International Oil and Gas Markets, Trades, Prices, and Economic Framework
Crude Oil and natural gas lie at the heart of the global energy economy. Their journey—from upstream extraction to processing, transportation, and final market delivery—is shaped by geopolitical dynamics, logistics infrastructure, commercial terms, and the strategic behaviours of producers and traders. This course offers an integrated view of the international oil and natural gas market structures, covering the supply and demand forces, transportation logistics, refining and processing economics, and trading strategies that define value creation. Participants will develop a practical understanding of how market signals, contracts, and physical flows interact across borders—supporting more effective decision making within investment and risk management domains.
