Summer is (almost) officially here. It's time to enjoy beaches and shores, hold barbecues, savor the outdoors, even slow down the pace.
I wish I could say the same for us here at The Oxford Princeton Programme. If anything, we are turning up |

|
|
|
|
the heat with a flurry of activities you will be reading more about in this edition.
For starters, we are introducing our new course, The Emerging Ethanol Energy Markets: A Comprehensive Overview, to have its initial run this August in Houston. We are also adding more sessions of our most popular course titles onto the schedule. We are partnering with LDC Forum to hold courses in North American Natural Gas after their September session in Chicago. We are launching many web-based training course titles. We are even adding more expert faculty so even your in-house training requests can be accommodated in a matter of weeks.
If you would like to download our updated course catalogue, it reflects our 2nd half schedule. Alternatively, you can also click through to find our North American public course schedule for the rest of the year.
As you have your fun in the sun, be sure to take time for the shade and some energy education and training.
Best regards,
Jobert E. Abueva
Director, Global Marketing and North American Sales

As bio-fuels continue to have a larger impact on today's fuel supply, The Oxford Princeton Programme is pleased to announce its newest course which will have its debut presentation this August in Houston.
The Emerging Ethanol Energy Markets: A Comprehensive Overview (ETNL)
Houston, TX
13 August 2009
This one-day workshop explores the role that bio-fuels, and particularly ethanol, play in the energy marketplace. This course examines the industry at all points throughout the supply chain, allowing course participants to better understand how biofuels are created, marketed, distributed and utilized within the fuel supply. Additionally, this workshop explains the importance that government regulation has played, and will play, in defining this industry. Often, the companies that are required to utilize biofuels are limited in their experience dealing with the intricacies of the biofuels market, as it differs from refined products. This workshop will bridge the gap between farmer and oilman, allowing the participant to better understand these unique and evolving commodities.

What can delegates look forward to in your courses?
Biofuels continue to become an increasingly important part of the energy industry. Its use is now widely accepted by the public, supported by politicians and a focus for many integrated oil companies. In recent months there have been several transactions (both acquisitions and investments) between traditional oil companies and biofuels firms that significantly alter the current marketplace.
This course bridges the gap between the farmer and oilman, allowing the delegate to gain an in-depth understanding of the biofuels supply chain. Delegates with previous biofuels experience, as well as those new to the field, will find this course relevant due to a comprehensive review of core topics.
How do you like to present your subject matter?
Having traded ethanol since the phase out of MTBE, I have a real appreciation for the day to day challenges of purchasing and managing ethanol supply. Therefore, I am focused on presenting the material in the context of real world applications. I think it's important to not only address the big picture topics, such as supply and demand or government policy, but also focus on key operational issues.
Equally important is getting the delegates involved throughout the presentation. With an interactive seminar you learn more and have fun in the process.
What are your career/professional highlights?
2009 has been an exciting year. In January I launched a new company, Aska Energy. Aska Energy (AE) provides two core software solutions: Railtrack (GPS tracking for rail) and Rail Optimization.
Prior to starting Aska Energy, I was Executive Director of Supply and Distribution for RaceTrac Petroleum. In that role I was responsible for a variety of activities including: trading (physical and paper), product scheduling and shipping (utilizing pipelines, rail cars, vessels, barges and trucks), inventory positions and throughputs, as well as all related vendor management and negotiations.
What are some of the greatest challenges facing the energy sector?
The challenges facing the energy sector are varied and affect a broad range of participants. Regardless of where you operate within the supply chain, today's market place is very challenging. From enacted and proposed government regulations (e.g. RFS 2, Carbon Cap & Trade / Tax) to market volatility to infrastructure concerns (particularly in biofuels) to changes in consumer sentiment and demand, now is not the time to rely on the status quo. In my view, the companies that will thrive in this environment will be those that embrace change and seek to capitalize on the continuing transformations in the industry.
How do you like to spend your free time?
As a new father of a 3 month old baby girl, combined with the work of starting a new business, my free time seems to be limited. Notwithstanding, I am having as much fun today as ever. When we can, my wife and I like to get out into the wilderness and hike - preferably with no cell coverage!
Mr. Gordon's forthcoming courses in 2009 includes:

With daily headlines influencing the volatility in oil prices and that of other commodities, not to mention the rise of maritime piracy and transcontinental security of supply issues, it is imperative more than ever that commercial professionals and public policy makers understand the full picture as energy entities address the consequences of such events.
The Changing Geopolitics of Oil and Gas: Identifying and Managing Political Risk (GEOP)
Washington, DC
15 - 16 September 2009
This two-day workshop explores geopolitical context within which oil and gas companies operate and how it affects daily business practices. This will be done,with a view toward understanding particular geographical locales and associated political risks. Regions to be covered include: United States, Africa, Latin America, and Middle East and Asia. Special emphasis will be placed on the rise of resource nationalism, as evidenced by the more than 100 national oil companies that currently exist. Moreover, political risk tools and strategies will be presented so that delegates learn concrete skills that they can use in their work.

European Gas: Security of Supply (EGSS)
This JUST-IN-TIME course was created in response to the events in January 2009 when Russia curtailed supplies into Ukraine and many parts of Europe. Even as these two nations have come to an agreement to get gas flowing again, their dispute is a long-running one that has been brewing ever since the breakup of the Soviet Union. We are unlikely to see the last of it. What are the underlying dynamics of the dispute and how prepared is Europe and the rest of the world for when this situation makes headlines in the future?
Introduction to Refinery Economics (IRE)
This course provides an overview of the economics of refining.
You'll learn how refineries make money, and what affects their profitability. We'll review the fundamentals of refinery operations and planning, as well as optimization and blending. We'll also cover crude oil quality and valuation. You'll understand how refinery margins are calculated. Finally, this course will provide an overview of the market outlook for refining.
Overview of the Ethanol Market (OEM)
This JUST-IN-TIME course was created in response to growing interest in the ethanol (biofuels) market as it continues to make headlines.
A federal mandate to provide a 10% gasoline-blend by 2011 is paving the path for ethanol to become a mainstay of the American energy equation. Major oil companies are now embracing it and addressing the logistics and resources required to refine, blend, store, transport, and trade it vis-à-vis other refined products in their portfolios.
Furthermore, ethanol is already widely available at the pump in markets like Brazil and with renewed worldwide focus as new technologies are identified, all interested parties need to dial up their foundational knowledge.
