Will the Natural Gas Industry Find Harmony? Covering the Marcellus and Beyond

• Gas/Electric Harmonization: A pointed look at the recent FERC NOPR.


• Effects of the Weather: A unique perspective on the impact of the weather on the NatGas Industry.


• Pipeline expansion in the Northeast: What’s the hold-up?


• EPA Ruling & Coal Power Regulations: How it will impact the NatGas Industry as a whole, the speed of coal to gas conversion, and the supply/demand implications of changing the electric power stack.


• Crude topics: A look at the possibility of government approval of crude exports and the potential for a revised definition of “crude” to include condensates.


• Geopolitical issues: Is it realistic to believe that US LNG exports could defuse the situation in the Ukraine/Russia?


• Possible discussion of more LNG Exporting Terminals approved by the FERC.

With great innovation, comes great responsibility. This panel will explore what the industry is likely to face within the Marcellus region, as well as nationally, including discussions on pricing fluctuations, infrastructure issues, and what the implications are for buyers. The natural gas landscape holds multitudes of opportunities – hear from our speakers on how to effectively harness them and overcome the challenges.

"Hedging for Budgetary Success" will demonstrate to attendees how to communicate to supervisors (PUCs, Board of Directors and rate payers) why hedging is prudent and/or necessary. Attendees will be introduced to a statistical approach developed by the instructor that quantifies the cost/benefit of hedging. They will be exposed to analytical tools that quantify risk in budgetary terms. These tools are used by more than 35 firms, managing more than $65 billion in cash flows, to communicate and document their rationale for hedging.
