Coming to Calgary!
The Oxford Princeton Programme Offers Innovative, Bestseller Courses to Canadian Energy Sector this November 2006 in Calgary, AB
PRINCETON, NJ - October, 2006:
In its commitment to offer the most comprehensive curriculum catering to the
Canadian energy, commodities and derivatives marketplace, The Oxford Princeton
Programme is holding three of its most innovative and best selling courses in
Calgary, AB this November 2006:
Gas Pipeline Economics and Engineering - Crucial Factors to Successful
Pipeline Projects (November 7 - 10) at The Westin Calgary;
as well as Energy Risk Management (November 28 - 29) and
Fundamentals of Energy Basis Training (November 30),
both at The Calgary TELUS Convention Center.
"We are committed to offering Calgary-based courses to address the needs of our
Canadian customers," says Clara Lippert, president and CEO of The Oxford
Princeton Programme, Inc. "The three slated for the remainder of 2006 are among
our most attended offerings and are representative of our cutting-edge
curriculum."
Gas Pipeline Economics and Engineering - Crucial Factors to Successful Pipeline Projects
This four-day 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.
Through a combination of lecture, case studies and simulation, delegates will
learn: to appreciate the significance of engineering factors in the economics of
pipeline projects, understand the cost structure of pipeline projects, how to
make a basic cost estimate for a pipeline project, how to calculate the unit
cost of capacity and therefore identify the optimum capacity configuration for a
project, how transportation tariffs are calculated, and the difficulties in
determining reasonable rates of return.
This course is ideal for, though not limited to, engineers, planners, and
project managers involved in the oil and gas industries, gas utility personnel
involved in the planning and operation of pipeline systems, government
regulatory staff, managers and staff in public sector ministries as well as
departments and agencies responsible for energy sector planning.
Energy Risk Management
Understanding and identifying how to limit price risk exposure is a complex
task. This two-day course will provide attendees with a forum to maximize
hedging efficiencies and limit price risk exposure. Delegates will build a
portfolio of industry techniques for managing price risk in today's volatile
energy markets.
This is ideal for those who are already familiar with futures and options but
want a more in-depth understanding of hedging and the tools available. It uses
four unique case studies developed by the industry's leading risk managers
requiring the delegate to apply hedging skills to complex scenarios. It will
deal with many different energy commodities, including oil and gas.
Fundamentals of Energy Basis Trading
After learning all there is to know about exchange traded futures and options,
traders are always faced with a complex dilemma - Basis. The 'B' word can make
or break a successful hedging or trading program. This course includes timely
'real world' examples and simulation to reinforce the application of basis
trading concepts and tools. After completion, delegates will have a strong
working knowledge of basis trading.
Class delegates include everyone from trade support staff all the way up to
senior management - anyone who needs to learn how to analyze and take advantage
of proper basis risk/opportunity analysis.
