Financial considerations for projects and investments are an ever increasing concern. This is especially true as petroleum projects become more complex and costly. Successful companies work using a decision making framework which includes a strict project progression (or gating) procedure to allow sound financial decisions to be made based upon a rigorous analysis of risk and uncertainty. It is therefore critical that all key members of the te...
