Credit Management & Credit Risk in the Oil, Gas and Energy Industry
A five-day programme on credit management and credit risk in oil, gas and energy, covering energy counterparty analysis, commodity price risk, trade finance mitigation, PD, LGD and EAD measurement, IFRS 9 provisioning, and portfolio stress testing.
Introduction
The Credit Management & Credit Risk in the Oil, Gas and Energy Industry Training Course prepares credit and finance professionals to manage counterparty exposure in a volatile sector. Energy markets move with commodity prices, geopolitical events, and long investment cycles. Those swings change the creditworthiness of producers, traders, refiners, and distributors quickly. This course applies credit analysis to energy-specific business models. It covers commodity price risk, trade finance, receivables, and hedging credit exposure. Furthermore, it applies IFRS 9 provisioning, Basel frameworks, and stress testing to energy portfolios. As a result, participants learn to limit losses without blocking valuable energy business.
