Benefit from a return on investment in trainingManagement education is an investment for both the individual and the employer. By fully understanding what they need, our goal is to ensure that both see a return from the investment in time and money in our courses. The business will see improved performance and effective use of resources; the individual will benefit from enhanced career prospects and personal development.

Our Approach

The firm was set up in 2012 by Angus Warren, an industry veteran whose career includes 15 years at BP, expanding in 2014 with additional directors bringing a wealth of experience and expertise to clients.

We are based in the UK, but run courses worldwide, particularly in emerging markets. Hundreds of executives and managers have been on our courses – many now being in senior positions in NOCs, Ministries and IOCs.

We know that every firm has different needs; and each individual has different ways of learning. Therefore we take time to understand what those different requirements are, and customize our courses as much as possible. And during the programme itself, we believe it is important delegates learn from each other, so our courses are highly interactive.

INTRODUCTIONSuccess in the international oil and gas business depends on a thorough understanding

of the industry’s complexities. Technical expertise is not enough; it is essential to fully understand the geopolitics, the technology, the finance, and the many different

stakeholders as well as knowing how to get the best out of a team. At Warren Business Consulting we deliver Oil & Gas courses all over the world, helping

NOCs and IOCs develop local talent. Here is a brief introduction to what we offer.

What clients say about our courses:“It will definitely have a huge impact on my work. I will be much more confident in my understanding of the business.”

“This course has drastically sharpened my knowledge and skills for enhanced performance of my job tasks.”

“Given me a ‘helicopter view’ on oil and gas industry. Will help my work, career and personal life decisions.”

“Major impact. Real life applications for our research, interviews, book content and even how we manage our company.”

“It has provided an excellent ‘all-round’ understanding of the industry and more in depth knowledge of work specific issues.”

“Hands down, the “3 Day MBA in Oil & Gas” is the quickest, most effective way to understand the E&P business model. I wish I had taken this course at the beginning of my career.”
