Recently i got an email from "DecomWorld", an online Oil & Gas magazine related to oil & gas sector where those guys shared with me with few sets of presentations which i found highly useful and since i believe in formula of knowledge sharing with all, hence i took permission with them to share all of the presentations with you guys.
People at "DecomWorld" (http://social.decomworld.com/) had been really nice and immediately replied to my email and even encouraged me that they shall be sharing more things with me which i can share with my valuable readers like you. Do check out their website as they used to share real fresh news about our industry in real time.
So without wasting more time, let me share with you the presentations as below:
