WHY ATTEND NEW ERA?

Energy professionals and their industries are facing extraordinary times. Already pressured to retain and replenish human resource staffs, both companies and government bodies face financing hurdles, cost and project management demands, risk and uncertainty in operating environments and extreme volatility in commodity markets and price signals.

To be successful, private and public sector organizations need to:

• Continue replenishing staffs by
• Accelerating development of younger professionals and
• Training and retaining experienced professionals who are critical for key project development and management responsibilities while
• Honing fundamental skills and knowledge needed to optimize value creation.

In the current financial, economic and commodity price environments we face, countries, governments and companies need to consider how best to deploy energy sector development for economic stabilization and growth. CEE is conducting research in this arena and will share insights from work in progress as a special topic in the upcoming October session.

To help organizations bridge the "challenge gap", the Center for Energy Economics (based in the Bureau of Economic Geology, Jackson School of Geosciences at The University of Texas at Austin ) offers the third annual fall session of New Era in Oil, Gas & Power Value Creation. Since 2001, and now with a semi-annual session each fall, New Era has provided impact oriented capacity building for energy professionals from around the world. New Era also has been the basis for custom programs organized by CEE in a variety of countries. The New Era program is based on more than 17-plus years of experience by the CEE team on key issues impacting successful, commercial energy value chain realization in a variety of countries.

The New Era program is unique in its holistic approach to energy value chains and is specifically designed to address commercial challenges associated with project development and asset management.  Program candidates will obtain a comprehensive understanding of energy business, economic, policy, regulatory and technology trends impacting value creation opportunities. Key components are: energy value chain linkages and complexities, how to capture value from upstream to end use and challenges in completing energy value chain strategies. Content and instruction incorporate the substantial experience embedded in our interdisciplinary team, expert networks and guest instructors and research, training and outreach on energy markets and frameworks for commercial investment.
