Infocus International Announces Online Training on LNG Supply, Demand, Pricing & Trading

The best rated LNG Supply, Demand, Pricing & Trading online training is back by popular demand with updated agenda and it will be commencing live on 8 September 2021.

At the beginning of 2020, the LNG business was looking forward to another year of expansion after a successful 2019 during which production increased by 42.5 mt and final investment decisions (FIDs) were taken on 71 mtpa of liquefaction capacity. COVID-19 has radically changed those expectations. LNG production continued to increase rapidly in the first quarter of 2020 as output from LNG trains that started up in 2019 built up to full capacity. However, demand weakened in the second quarter as lockdowns in many LNG importing countries to control the spread of COVID-19 slowed economic activity.

Increased supply and declining demand have led to an over-supplied market, with spot prices for LNG falling to levels not seen before in the second quarter and the cancellation of US LNG cargoes. However, prices began to recover during the third quarter with demand expected to strengthen in the winter months. The construction of new liquefaction trains has been delayed and final investment decisions (FIDs) on new capacity have been deferred. However, the long-term outlook for LNG remains robust as lower prices increase the competitivity of natural gas with coal and oil in the power generation and industrial sectors.

This course will be over six sessions, providing an overview of the LNG business in 2021 with a commercial focus but technical and shipping will also be covered. It will consider the outlook for the business over the period to 2035 in terms of markets, sources of supply, pricing and trading. It is designed for newcomers to LNG and those who want to refresh their knowledge or have experience in one part of the business or one region and want to widen their knowledge.

Benefits of Attending

– Understand LNG chain technologies, costs, economics and safety
– Appreciate how the LNG business is changing and the implications for those working in the business
– Gain insights into LNG pricing and how it is evolving
– Acquire in-depth knowledge of world LNG markets and supply sources
– Assess the increasing role of spot and short-term trading

Public-Private Partnerships Online Masterclass is Now Back by Popular Demand

Infocus International Group has launched the Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) online masterclass which will be commencing live on 17 August 2021. Throughout the eight sessions, attendees will be mastering PPP project analysis, financing, contracts & transaction management techniques.

We need new infrastructure. Roads, airports, schools, hospitals and housing: the list is enormous and growing. Yet severely limited budgets, economic uncertainty caused by volatile commodity prices, and deficits continue to prevent governments at all levels from delivering the kinds of structural change that have always been needed. In response, some countries have developed successful PPP programmes. Merely grasping the concepts of PPP does not do justice to our great responsibility of having ownership in the country’s future. We already know what we need to do, now is the time to really discover how.

Course Highlights:

– PPP policies, strategies, laws & units for implementing successful PPP transactions
– Identifying & selecting appropriate projects for PPPs
– Models for analyzing PPP projects
– Managing & completing PPP feasibility studies
– Financing techniques for PPP to ensure long-term PPP bankability and affordability
– Managing and overseeing PPP procurements & achieving transaction closure
– PPP stakeholder management & sustainability techniques
– Managing long-term PPP contracts for ensuring service delivery, price regulation, and dispute resolution

This masterclass features a rigorous new interactive methodology that requires attendees to demonstrate their understanding of each module’s practical techniques and learning outcomes. Every 10-15 minutes throughout each session, attendees will be required to complete either focused review questions for selecting among a range of PPP decisions, or brief group exercise assignments. Attendees should be prepared to actively participate, and not merely to “watch & listen” video presentations.

Case studies of PPP transactions will feature the real-world details of PPP feasibility studies, tender documents, impact assessments, and PPP agreements to provide first-hand understanding of the challenges of PPP transactions. Experiential exercises will place you into the practical role of key management decision-makers who not only need to analyze and understand PPP investment proposals, but who have to make real-world decisions on transactions. As a result of actively engaging in this program’s methodology, you will be able to make practical decisions on PPP strategies, projects, and transactions for your organizations following the workshop’s completion.

Infocus International Group has announced a brand new online training – Renewable Energy Power Purchase Agreements (RE PPAs) and it will be commencing live on 3 August 2021. The practical models and techniques for analyzing & structuring, drafting, and negotiating Renewable Energy Power Purchase Agreements for bankable green investments in today’s competitive energy markets.

In the global marketplace of the 2020s, both developed and developing economies urgently need to master the key techniques and models for transforming to renewable generation while strengthening the reliability of new energy markets and systems. These focus on adapting and negotiating the latest models for RE PPAs and on rapidly attracting new private investments in renewable energy sources. Unlike past fossil-fuel based Independent Power Project (IPP) models that featured standardized take-or-pay contracts – today’s renewable energy markets demand more innovative incentives to attract RE supply, conform to RE generation availability, ensure power system reliability, as well as more attractive and sustainable mixtures of fuel sources. Government power sector strategies are now struggling to choose among different practical incentives for new private investments in renewable technologies including solar energy, wind power, bio-mass incineration and mini-hydro investments.

This interactive five sessions training will provide clear explanations of the new models of Renewable Energy PPA risk allocation, of ensuring project bankability, of allowing RE generators to compete in energy markets and power pools. The practical models for RE investment credit enhancements will be demonstrated through a series of real case examples of RE PPA contracts, renewable project finance transactions, and competitive energy markets. Case Studies will include real examples from Southeast Asia, South Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and North America.

Benefits of Attending:

– Best practices from international case studies of successful RE PPAs to avoid common pitfalls
– Direct the legal design of RE PPAs based on your own company’s risk profile and corporate goals
– Lead strategies for the design and regulation of new competitive electricity markets to attract renewable private power investments
