Introduction
Sabah has been a key state for the development of Oil, Gas and Energy sector which has contributed significantly to nation building. With nation’s ‘Right Asset, Right Player’ strategy, the state hosts multiple key exploration & development blocks managed by prominent operating companies supported by local supply chain.
With the aspiration to empower local talents and organisations to actively participate and support local sector, in conjunction to SOGCE 2024, Midas Events Management, the organiser of SOGCE in partnership with Semarak Training, the pioneer of Malaysia’s integrated professional training provider is proud to organise our next SOGCE’s Talent Development Programme with the focus on Petroleum Economics Masterclass.
Economics drives the entire oil & gas producing industry. Almost every decision is made on the basis of an economic evaluation. Oil & gas operating company develops petroleum economics to justify risk and return of investment of its projects.
Therefore, it is important for professionals who are involved in Field Development Planning and Portfolio Planning to understand the fundamentals of petroleum economics for investment decision, how projects are selected and how development concepts are selected. While each country has its unique economic policies, Malaysia has been applying Production Sharing Contracts as the guidelines for operating companies and to manage the resources responsibly.
This masterclass has been developed to help professionals on the subject and offers 2 levels of courses:
- Fundamentals of Petroleum Economics (2 Days): 24 – 25 June 2024
- Advanced Petroleum Economics (3 Days): 26 – 27 June 2024
Learning stage and need of each professional might be different, thus this programme is designed to give flexibility where delegate is able to choose to attend single course or complete masterclass (2-in-1).

By the end of the course, delegate will be able to:
- Understand how every major NOCs and IOCs evaluate projects, decide which development option is chosen for FDP, valuation of assets and how risk are mitigated.
- Comprehend economic indicators used and how they are presented to top management for decision making.
- Recognise how current Malaysia’s R/C and sliding scale (Deepwater) PSCs work.
- Understand the value drivers in the PSC and the key to maximising the contractor’s value from the PSC.
- Appreciate the fundamental of Portfolio and Portfolio Optimization.
Who Should Attend
Front-end engineers, geologist, reservoir engineer, managers, planners, lawyers, and those involved in Field Development Planning project teams and Portfolio Planning.

About Expert Trainer: Rozmee Ismail
Mr Rozmee is a Petroleum Techno Commercial Professional with 28 years of experience in the upstream Oil & Gas industry. He has worked in both National Oil Company (NOC) and International Oil Company (IOC). The experience has given him a balanced view of the aspirations of both sides and he believes both sides needs to understand this to ensure a successful relationship in the implementation of a petroleum contract.
He strongly believes that petroleum economics is the cornerstone of a petroleum contract spelled out through the commercial provisions spelled out in the PSC. As such he believes executives involved with upstream O&G should understand the commercial aspect of the PSC that their company are involved in.
He is proven trainer having conducted petroleum economics related courses over the last 20 years with good feedback from participants. Post retirement, he has conducted courses for several NOCs; Myanmar Oil & Gas Enterprise (MOGE), Senegal PETROSEN and Gabon Ministry of Hydrocarbon and Mines.
His background as front end engineer gives him a unique perspective of optimizing the economics of a project by through phasing of development to maximize the value of a projects.
He is also involved with the industry by being guest lecturer at Universiti Teknologi Petronas (UTP) and Universiti Teknologi MARA (UITM). In addition he’s also industry external examiner for UTP’s Master in Petroleum Engineering programme.
