Ideas for new seminars come from many sources including our faculty based on what delegates seek beyond class, as well as employees who pour over every evaluation and constantly canvas the marketplace. This year alone, we are debuting at least five brand new courses.
One of these is North American Natural Gas Transportation and Storage (NGTS). This course came about because attendees to Overview of North American Natural Gas Industry were intrigued by the details surrounding the actual movement of gas throughout the continent and wanted to delve into the nomenclature and nomination process market participants undergo. Steve Conant and Steve Martin, the course authors as well as instructors, developed NGTS using the latest data available as well as multidimensional learning tools including case studies and simulations. NGTS was then beta-tested in-house to ensure it is rolled out in tiptop shape. Early interest in the course has been immense and has led us to accelerate the development of a Canadian edition. Moreover, a number of accounts have also asked that it be brought on site.
This sort of customer response and satisfaction is what makes creating new courses so worthwhile.
Best regards,
Jobert E. Abueva
Global Marketing Manager
There's still time to catch NGTS in Calgary (May 16th) and Denver (September 12th).
And by the way, the other brand new courses this year include:
Derivatives Pricing, Hedging and Risk Management (TPD)
Gas-to-Liquids - A New Gas Horizon (GTL)
Global LNG: Import and Regasification - Europe (LNGIM)
LNG Shipping - A Voyage of Discovery (TDLNG)

The Gas Chain Concept - Industry Structure, Economics, and Pricing
21-25 May 2007
Oxford
This highly popular five-day course provides a comprehensive introduction to the concept of the 'gas chain,' a thorough understanding of which is essential for anyone associated with the natural gas business. The result is an understanding of the interdependence of each phase of the gas business and the implications of this for the commercial organisation, finance, operation and structure to commercialise gas reserves.
International Gas Contracts - Commercial Factors and Negotiations
4-8 June 2007
Oxford
This five-day course will show you that there are few areas in which time and effort can yield immediate and profitable returns. Using the Bolonia© case study, participants practice different negotiation strategies, whilst learning the key elements of natural gas sale and purchase contracts and the legal framework which underpins them.
Gas Pipeline Economics and Engineering - Crucial Factors to Successful Pipeline Projects
11-15 June 2007
Oxford
This course brings together key engineering and economic factors essential to the success of pipeline projects and provides a detailed analysis of the cost structure of pipelines and the inter-relations between all the factors.To further enhance the learning experience, delegates will examine and analyze a case study on the economics of a major international pipeline project in Asia, including setting up an economic model and evaluation of project viability.
Understanding A Liberalised Gas Business - Markets, Open Access and Regulatory Impacts
18-22 June 2007
Oxford
This five-day course examines regulation, transportation and markets from the points of view of the regulator, the transporter and the shipper. A number of case studies will be used from different countries to illustrate the issues involved when introducing privatisation/competition/regulation into gas industries in various stages of development.
Natural Gas Sales and Marketing in a Competitive Environment
25-29 June 2007
Oxford
This five-day course charts the shift from a monopoly-controlled market, to the liberalised and highly competitive model. The role of alternative fuels in this change will also be reviewed. Using the Bolonia© case study, the course analyses the key gas market sectors and provides an insight into strategies for setting gas prices, in both regulated and liberal gas markets, against a background of competing fuels. |

How long have you been with The Oxford Princeton Programme?
14 years! Long enough to see our company experience significant growth.
It seems like Sales is in your blood. You have several loyal customers!
Thanks. I was always in sales even before joining The Programme. I worked six years as a sales rep for American Eagle Express, an airfreight and trucking business, where I rapidly grew my territories and areas of responsibility. There is something to be said for building strong relationships with customers. You grow alongside them, have more open dialogues, and therefore tend to better understand their strategies and needs.
What's the most challenging aspect of your job?
Identifying weaknesses, or shall I say, "opportunities for improvement", isn't always the easiest thing for a customer, or anyone for that matter. But sometimes, you have to help put the mirror up to a company's competencies against what they are striving for and what's going on with their competition.
And the most rewarding part?
Well, to be honest, it was a true highpoint for me when I reached a certain milestone in exceeding my sales goals. It was as if I had climbed Mt. Everest! You want to steer customers to the right solutions and to be able to do that and still make money, well, isn't that the essence of being in Sales.
Which of The Oxford Princeton Programme's services do you enjoy selling the most?
If I really had to choose, I'd say customized on sites. It's where the industry is headed. I thoroughly enjoy the process of providing various options to clients and showing them how easily our roster of course offerings can be tweaked or revamped to meet their specific needs. Their business requirements are always on the go and I want to be right there with them.

With graduation season looming in a number of countries, we'll soon see a new batch of job applicants joining the workforce. I found myself there just a couple of short years ago.
New graduates and interns are a matchless asset for their enthusiasm and fresh ideas . It is important to aid them with the knowledge and skill sets to leverage that potential into the company and sectors they enter. Needless to say, training is an excellent spring board.
With The Oxford Princeton Programme, I've had the opportunity to attend Fundamentals of Energy Futures, Options I - Fundamentals of Energy Options, several web-based courses, and internal training brought in for our staff. The knowledge that I've gained from this training is invaluable to my everyday roles and responsibilities.
How are your new recruits fairing?
