About the SPOOGM Program
Oil and gas planning has to cope with price swings, policy change, project delays and energy transition pressure, which single point forecasts cannot handle. The program teaches teams to build and use scenarios, identifying driving forces, constructing plausible futures, stress testing plans and setting early warning indicators. Delivered in-house at the client's premises or live virtual, it leaves planning, commercial and technical staff able to run a scenario exercise and turn it into decisions.
