Why should I attend?

IQPC Training’s LNG Fundamentals course is aimed at those requiring a clearer picture of the industry’s growing significance in the energy world. This intensive 3-Day training course will discuss issues regarding the implications of the development of the LNG sector and factors such as gas markets and pricing, transportation and the environment. It will examine commercial and technical aspects of the natural gas and LNG industry. This comprehensive course will also address the technical & economic factors that have driven the industry’s growth through an integrated approach.

Course Participants will learn to:

• Understand the special characteristics of LNG and its relevance in the “gas chain”
• Analyse the differing perspectives of the investor, the operator, the customer and the government vis à vis LNG projects
• Gain in depth knowledge of the success factors of the LNG sector
• Evaluate risks and design effective risk mitigation strategies
• Learn to effectively negotiate and implement LNG sales agreements
• Updates on political and diplomatic guidlelines for international trade in LNG

Who will I meet and who is speaking?

Michael Williams is an Energy Professional with over 30 years of worldwide experience particularly in gas and LNG, most recently in China and Taiwan. As the previous Managing Director (Gas & Power) for Shell in China, he was able to influence the change of China's energy policy to import LNG and to utilise gas.

His influence on the development of energy policy in China and in Taiwan was recognised by the Energy Working Group of APEC and by the associated policy development body, APERC (Asia Pacific Energy Research Centre, based in Tokyo).

Richard Harrison was formerly with the Shell Group of Companies for 30 years. His final post was General Manager, Natural Gas and Project Development Manager for Shell in China from 1997 to 2001. His main responsibility was to develop a liquefied natural gas (LNG) import project, as well as sales and marketing of natural gas in China.

Mr. Harrison acted as the Shell delegate on the Joint Venture Project Committee of the Australian North West Shelf LNG project between 1993 and 1997. During that period he was also seconded part-time to COAG Natural Gas Taskforce (to develop a national gas regulatory regime) to coordinate and report on the deliberations of the Upstream Working Group.

Who should attend?

Any professional who needs a complete understanding of the entire LNG value chain and how it will impact the global gas picture for years to come will not want to miss this key event.
