About this Training Course
Trading is one of the most dynamic and demanding areas of the fast-growing LNG industry. Due to the unique features of the LNG markets, trading LNG is high stakes business. Today’s LNG contracts commonly include:
- Sophisticated pricing terms
- Gas hub–linked pricing
- Index switching formulas with hybrids of minimums and caps
- Volume flexibility options
- Cargo-size tolerance
- Seasonal swings
- Carry-forward options
- Tailored credit and payments terms
- Secured payments on power offtakes and more limited guarantees
However, offering these flexibilities and contract optionality requires a sizeable and diverse portfolio as well as a new set of capabilities, such as price optimization, risk management, and advanced contract structuring.
