Oil, Gas & Petroleum Energy Management - Courses, Colleges and Careers

MBA oil gas energy

The postgraduate Master of Business Administration course is a popular course, since every organization requires management at essentially all levels. There are different domains in which management of business activities has become specialized and narrower in focus. One such domain is the vital field of petroleum and energy management. As its name suggests, this particular specialization focuses upon the management of energy corporations. In the specific case of India, a country with less than sufficient energy generation and supply infrastructure, this field has immense scope for development and expansion. The curriculum for most colleges and institutions that teach this specialization consists of an amalgamation of conventional management disciplines like finance, marketing, operations, human resource management and strategic management, along with focused studies on petroleum and energy sectors like refinery technology and economics, natural gas businesses, exploration and non-conventional energy.
