Overview
|
|
PIRA University was established in 2003 in response to the numerous requests from clients for PIRA to provide individual and company-specific training on a wide range of topics related to energy markets. PIRA University offers two different programs focusing on
global oil and natural
gas markets. These programs — held in Houston, London and New York, and open to PIRA and non-PIRA clients alike — are designed for beginner- to intermediate -level analysts, marketers, traders, and planners, as well as senior managers and executives who wish to receive a refresher course on energy market concepts and
practices.

What makes PIRA’s training seminars different?
|
|
While most training programs provide instruction on the technical aspects of crude production and refining, PIRA provides unique insights into the industry’s commercial aspects and their bearing on market movements. The instructors are PIRA’s full-time energy consultants, who have spent most of their careers in the energy industry, as economists, engineers, or analysts. Their collective energy market experience, knowledge and expertise form the foundation of PIRA University and its proven ability to help students build a solid framework for analyzing data, interpreting news events and policy announcements — even weather fluctuations — and to understand their impact on prices. In sum, PIRA University is a sound investment for any energy market participant who wants to be armed with a keen understanding of the landscape, fundamental drivers, and function of global energy markets.

PIRA University Packages
|
There are two options for purchasing passes to PIRA University events:
|
- Purchase one or more seats to an individual PIRA University event.
- Purchase a package of passes (10, 15, 20, 25 or more) that can be redeemed at any of the PIRA U. events during the calendar year.
This is a particularly good option for those companies that regularly need to train groups of people over a period of time.
Another benefit of pre-purchasing a package is the tremendous flexibility a company gains in the ability to send any employee to either of these programs (on five dates) when the need arises. It also allows a company to reserve PIRA University training seminar seats in advance and eliminates the administrative burden of signing up and paying for each individual who attends a particular program. Further, the per-person cost under this option offers significant cost
savings.

Who Should Enroll?
|
PIRA University’s commercial insight will be valuable to a range of industry participants. Those who are relatively inexperienced can gain a more comprehensive understanding of what to expect in the energy market and why. At the other extreme, those already possessing knowledge of much of the subject material can gain valuable insights into the impact of new and emerging factors on energy markets.
The following professionals can all benefit from PIRA University:
|
- Analysts who require an edge on their competition in finding, understanding and interpreting key market data.
- Energy traders who need to anticipate where prices are heading before the markets react.
- Planners who have to stay on top of the changes that will drive the profitability of their companies’ operations, strategies and investments.
- Risk managers who need to understand what really drives the ups and downs of energy markets and what options are available to manage the inherent uncertainty.
- Refiners who want to understand key elements that drive their profitability.
- Hedge fund and pension fund managers whose success may be directly tied to getting a jump on where energy prices are going and knowing which segments of the industry are the right play.
- Government officials who will be involved in regulations that will impact the energy markets.
- Banks and other financial institutions that provide financing for projects and need to assess risks and uncertainties in the long-range outlook for prices.
- Producers who need to know the forces impacting near-term and longer-term prices as well as the industry volumes in the regions in which they operate.
- Buyers and sellers who need to formulate better, timelier hedging strategies for minimizing future price risk.
