The LPG market is currently supply driven and while prices are volatile along with other energy costs, LPG is becoming increasingly competitive compared with oil although not always in comparison with natural gas. LPG is likely to become increasingly competitive in comparison with oil. This is because of a potential surplus of building up from two sources. The first is the supply of product from LNG related projects and the second is the growth of refining capacity.

The aims of this course are to develop tools for operating in this sector in the context of these developments. The workshop will give you also a thorough insight on situation with LPG in Europe and Russia.

The comprehensive program examines:

The supply chain – marketing, market drivers and storage tactics

The shipping sector – looking at the international market including North Sea developments

Pricing and possible price changes for LPG in Europe and Russia

Changes in supply and demand in Russia after the recession

LPG trading – in particular a workshop centred around the North Sea

LPG disposal study – strategies

Prospects for LPG as an alternative fuel in Russia

The seminar is run in English.

The participation fee is £1250.
