Feedback is provided in a number of ways throughout your module. This includes feedback you receive during teaching from both peers and lecturers and that provided for formative assessment. Following an assessment, you will be given your marks and feedback in line with the assessment regulations and policy. More information on the timing and type of feedback that will be provided for each assessment will be available from the module leader. <a href='https://www.citystgeorges.ac.uk/about/governance/policies/student-policies-and-regulations'>https://www.citystgeorges.ac.uk/about/governance/policies/student-policies-and-regulations</a>

Lectures are used as a means of covering the essential principles and analysis techniques in sufficient detail to allow you to achieve the Knowledge and Understanding learning outcomes for this module at a basic level. They are not intended as a substitute for reading around the subject and an additional private study hour is expected for every hour of lectures.
The basics of principles are covered in lectures to place the knowledge into context but the main learning activity to achieve the cognitive/Intellectual and subject-specific skills is private study, supported by staff surgery hours. Transferable Skills, Values and Attitudes are acquired through timely participation in the learning activities.

Oil and Gas Industries for Sustainable Development

Critically analyse information and conduct own research into the links between effective management and governance of the extractives sector, economic stability, and environmental sustainability (AHEP4 M4). 

Skills

Work effectively individually and as part of a team (AHEP4 M16).

Values and attitudes

Analyse the fiscal systems that generate optimal “economic rent” for host governments. 

Synthesise policy interventions aimed at energy transition and decarbonisation of energy systems (AHEP4 M5). 

Knowledge

Justify methods and techniques that can transform the oil and gas industries towards sustainable industries. 

Describe fiscal policy, economic rent, and effective governance in oil and gas energy sector 

Analyse socioeconomic/political challenges for energy transition on delivering the Sustainable Development Goals. 

Relate knowledge of the historical aspects of extractives, technologies, and current status of these industries 

Conclude the international nature of the oil and gas sector and its impact on the global economy. 

Analyse and use data and present findings related to energy from extractive industries. 

Evaluate the sustainability of different decarbonisation methods within oil and gas industries. 

Judge the role of extractive industries in providing energy for sustainable development.
