Who Should Attend
This program is intended for specialists in one or more functional areas of the international energy industry, such as exploration, production, processing, storage, transportation, distribution, power generation, petrochemicals, finance and marketing, who wish to broaden their practical knowledge of the business environment and to learn the current "best practices" of the integrated gas industry.

Instructional Format
The instructional format consists of formal lectures by leading experts, site visits, and team participation in a specially developed workshop/ business simulator. The lecturers have been carefully selected for their extensive practical experience, knowledge of the industry and strong communication skills. The workshop covers the development of an integrated gas company in the Republic of Singnam, a fictitious developing country in Southeast Asia. This combination of formal lectures and intensive workshop sessions has proven to be an ideal way to teach the practical needs required by today’s international energy manager.

Awarding of Certificate
A Certificate in Gas Business Management is issued to individuals who successfully complete both units of this program.
