This intensive one-week business workshop introduces participants to all aspects of the integrated natural gas value chain. Through formal lectures and a challenging, team-based business game, participants learn the commercial, technical, financial, and economic aspects of the business - from upstream gas supply to midstream transportation and processing and downstream markets. Special emphasis is placed on LNG, gas-fired power plants and GTL opportunities. IHRDC has developed two business game settings that will be offered according to regional relevancy:

Singnam

This business game focuses on the challenge of commercializing and managing a sizeable gas prospect in Asia over a 20-year period. The setting is an undeveloped but highly populated hypothetical country on the South China Sea called "Singnam."

Expetra

The setting of the alternative business game is the Atlantic Basin, where teams choose to explore several offshore exploration blocks in the "Republic of Expetra," an unexplored island in the Caribbean just north of a major gas discovery in Trinidad.
