This six-week program covers the midstream and downstream sectors of the natural gas value chain with emphasis on technical concepts, commercial analysis, and global natural gas markets. This is a continuation of Unit G01 during which the discovered gas resource is commercialized. Weekly sessions include three hours of individual e-Learning and one-hour virtual session with an IHRDC mentor, who discusses the weekly learnings and introduces the business simulation assignments. Participants are then asked to evaluate alternatives and recommend decisions on the project simulation assignment for that week. During the program the learning is focused on five midstream and downstream gas value chain sectors.
