Recent trends in the marketplace and the increased pace of liberalisation have joined to raise interest in natural gas storage in both traditional and new market participants. This seminar provides a practitioner's view of the fundamentals necessary to balance cost vs. benefit, the daily optimization and the practical exploitation of sometimes hidden storage opportunities. The role of liquidity and liberalization will be discussed as well as how to exploit storage assets under less than fully liberalized or liquid markets. The workshop will cover the basic pros and cons of various storage analytical models without demanding any prerequisite analytical skills.This seminar is taught by one of the industry's foremost storage management experts, who pioneered many of the techniques commonly used today. In addition, he has delivered this workshop multiple times at the largest European gas forum in Amsterdam.
