Introduction to Natural Gas

Overview

Our two-day overview of natural gas is a tailor-made introduction to this fascinating sector of the energy industry. Taught by Mr. Richard Weissman, a natural gas derivatives trader and highly acclaimed author with 30+ years of experience in the industry. This course offers a non-technical view of the gas business. We introduce attendees to the natural gas industry from upstream (exploration and production), through midstream (processing, pipelines, storage and LNG) to downstream (consumption, marketing and trading). Particular emphasis is placed on the role of physical and financial markets, natural gas trading hubs and commercial hedging.
