This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

The oil and gas industry is one of the world's most competitive and strategically complex industries. Companies must continuously make critical decisions regarding investments, market positioning, growth opportunities, risk management, energy transition, operational performance, and long-term value creation.

This course teaches the principles of Strategic Management, Business Strategy, Strategic Planning, and Decision Making through the lens of the oil and gas industry.


This is not a technical engineering course. It is advanced strategic thinking for professionals, using oil and gas, LNG and energy markets as the core context.

Have you ever asked:

  1. Why companies expand LNG capacity at the same time?

  2. Why hydrogen projects move forward and then stall?

  3. Why some national oil companies survive low oil prices while others struggle?

  4. How capital allocation decisions are really made?

This course teaches oil and gas strategy at an executive level.


You will learn:


  1. What strategy really means in long cycle industries

  2. What strategic tools are used in corporate decision-making

  3. How techno-economic factors shape strategy formulation

  4. How to analyse LNG and gas market competition

  5. How to apply game theory to pricing wars and capacity expansion

  6. How to design ten-year corporate strategies

  7. How to structure capital allocation under volatility

  8. How to stress test portfolios under oil price decline

  9. How governance and stage gate discipline protect long-term value


If you work in upstream, LNG, hydrogen, petroleum economics, planning, or within a national oil company, this course will upgrade how you think about capital, competition and long-cycle strategy.
