About this course:

Modern technologies and increasing infrastructure have enabled LNG to emerge from a strategic energy source into one that now competes in terms of price and supply with pipeline gas in most regions of the world. Global demand for gas and LNG is changing and diversifying significantly, particularly in Asia, United States and Europe. In addition to traditional gas markets (i.e. use as a fuel for industry, space heating and power generation), gas and its natural gas liquid components are now being more widely used as feedstock for producing a range of high-value liquid fuels and petrochemicals.Through a series of presentations, case studies and exercises delegates are provided with insight to the technologies and supply chains involved in the modern natural gas and LNG industries.

Who should attend?

The course is pitched to appeal to professionals from a range of technical and commercial backgrounds and with varying levels of gas industry experience. There is a broad skill-set required for companies operating across the gas supply chains that includes: petroleum resource managers, process and marine engineers, economics and commercial analysts, risk managers, contract, legal, strategic planning and finance professionals. This course is designed to address that skill-set and, with the aid of case studies, provide a global perspective to the industry, presenting numerous international case studies that illustrate the opportunities and threats confronting the natural gas and LNG industries.Technical sections of the course are presented in non-technical language to accommodate a multi-disciplined audience.

Course overview:

Day one: – Supply chains, industry development, processes and markets

Day two: – Competition, Shipping, Storage and Gas Supply Strategies

Day three: – Contracts, safety, finance and regional case studies
