It is a must for those involved in upstream oil and gas transactions  planning  budgeting  investment appraisal and portfolio management. Its step-by-step approach cuts through complexity  making it comprehensive and understandable by a wide range of users with a wide range of abilities. It can be used as a textbook  an introductory primer or as a handbook that you can dip in and out of or read cover to cover.\" --Michael Lynch-Bell  Senior Advisor  Oil \u0026amp; Gas  Ernst \u0026amp; Young LLP; ex-officio Chairman  UN Expert Group on Resource Classification In the upstream petroleum industry  it is the value of post-tax cashflows which matters most to companies  governments  investors  lenders  analysts  and advisors. Calculating these cashflows and understanding their \"behavior \" however  is challenging  as the industrys specialized fiscal systems can be complex  jargon-laden  and sometimes seem to be a \"world of their own\". Upstream Petroleum Fiscal and Valuation Modeling in Excel: A Worked Examples Approach demystifies fiscal analysis which  unlike disciplines such as Earth sciences and engineering  can be learned from a book. Written in plain English for laymen and for experienced practitioners alike  it is a reader-friendly  clear  practical  step-by-step hands-on guide for both reference and self-paced study. The book does not catalogue the 100 different petroleum fiscal regimes in use at the time of writing. Rather  drawing on the authors combined 48 years experience  it takes a more timeless  generic treatment  by covering the most common variants of royalties  taxation  production sharing arrangements  bonuses and abandonment funding   through a dual approach: first  showing how to model them in Excel   and then providing interactive exercises to prompt (and answer) questions that analyze impacts on cashflows. In addition to the main text  the book consists of over 120 Excel files (ranging from modular examples to full models) in Excel 2007 and 2003 formats; over 400 pages of supplementary PDF files; VBA features to enhance model functionality; and an introduction to risk modeling with exercises for the included trial version of Oracles Crystal Ball software. It offers both a wealth of content and models equal to or surpassing what is available from fiscal modeling courses costing several times more; and greater insights into underlying calculations than commercially available \"black box\" fiscal software. New US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules planned for 2013 will force petroleum companies to disclose more fiscal information on an individual country basis. This will make it more important than ever for analysts to understand how to model oil and gas terms and the potential impacts of the disclosed government payments on future oil and gas company profitability. Due to the heavy use of graphics and cross references used in this particular text  some readers might find that the printed book offers a more optimal reading experience than certain e-formats particularly with the Kindle eMobi format.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44984483774517,"sku":"ByrdShop_0470686820","price":142.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780470686829.jpg?v=1770834786","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/upstream-petroleum-fiscal-and-valuation-modeling-in-excel-a-worked-examples-approach-the-wiley-finance-series","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
