DESCRIPTION
Natural gas is rapidly becoming ‘the fuel of choice’ in many countries. At the same time it is one of the world’s most capital-intensive industries. As such, participants in the natural gas industry must confront the central issue of the ability to mobilise the investment required to undertake project development. The solution to this question turns strategies for (1) Marketing and (2) Pricing. Marketing is viewed in terms of balancing demand with supply. Pricing considerations include both the energy value of gas as a commodity as well as costs for processing, transportation and storage. Approaches to both issues vary regionally according to the role that natural gas plays in relation to alternative sources of energy.
This course will cover the essence of establishing good practices in gas marketing and pricing from both the technical and commercial perspectives through specific understanding of the current gas market structure and mastering the gas/LNG pricing strategies in a competitive global gas market reinforced with real world gas/LNG case studies learning.
