The Oxford Princeton Programme Develops a New Oil Course with a South African Focus
PRINCETON, NJ (PRWEB) October 4, 2004 -- The Oxford Princeton Programme, the
world’s leading provider of training solutions to the energy, commodity and
derivatives industries, developed a new course to provide delegates with a
fundamental understanding of the trading and operational features within the
international oil industry. With a South African focus, Trading and Operations
within the International Oil Markets, emphasizes the understanding and
successful resolve of practical issues encountered by professionals within the
industry.
“Trading and Operations within the International Oil Markets
has been uniquely designed for South Africa,” explains Robin Burley, principal
consultant and course director. “It offers the opportunity for participants to
develop their knowledge and skills in international trading and operations in a
stimulating mix of exercises, presentations and plays. It could be regarded as a
complete overview into areas of competency required for operations personnel
together with adding insight into trading techniques. The course will also
appeal to the new entrant offering an immediate perspective on a key functional
area in the oil industry.”
Course director Robin Burley is principal
consultant with Kennet Oil Logistics, a company established in 1990 providing
expertise in the international supply, trading and transportation sector. During
his 30 years of experience in the oil industry he has worked with BP within
their marine and supply departments and Gulf Oil including trading and
transportation, refining and marketing functions. Besides the day-to-day
management and negotiation of oil supply, trading and transportation deals, he
has been involved in a variety of oil logistics projects throughout the world.
He has lived in the USA, Europe and the Middle East, and is a contributing
author to the Oil Trading Manual (pub. Woodhead 1995).
“South Africa is a
key piece of the international oil industry and with oil prices in constant
flux, this course will shed new light on this important segment,” said Clara
Lippert, president and CEO of The Oxford Princeton Programme.
Trading and
Operations within the International Oil Markets is a four-day course. The course
is scheduled for March 14-17, 2005, in Cape Town, South Africa.
