Australia’s iron ore industry underwent an incredible transformation in just six years, driven largely by China’s insatiable demand. Billions of dollars of mine expansions have been (or are) being undertaken by the majors, whilst the next generation of iron ore players in the Pilbara, Mid-West and elsewhere are currently planning their own projects. Chinese investment in the iron ore sector has increased significantly, with many of...

In large gas fields located remote from markets (sometimes referred to as stranded gas) or in smaller gas fields (including gas associated with oil), the logistics or economics of pipelining the gas to market may not be feasible. Gas is shipped to distant markets as a liquefied product (LNG) and the technology of LNG is well established. Liquefaction (by cooling to minus 162 degrees C) occurs in large land based plants and is transported to re...

LNG is simply natural gas which has been liquefied for storage and transportation. In LNG form, natural gas is condensed into one 600th of its volume, allowing it to be stored and transported more easily. Liquefaction (by cooling to minus 162 degrees C) occurs in large land based plants and is transported to receiving terminals in LNG carrier vessels. The need for LNG arises due to the uneven distribution of gas resources and gas markets and t...

This course will provide participants with a fundamental grounding in the Australian gas industry, covering the key technical, commercial and contract aspects of the industry. The course begins with a short review of upstream activities including how natural gas (conventional and coal seam methane gas) is formed, how it is found and produced. A study of the gas transportation network will outline the movement of gas flows around the country, i...

This 2-day introductory course explains what is unique about developing oil and gas from shale and tight rock reservoirs. Several examples and videos will also be presented to help provide an overview of the fundamental terms and concepts applied in developing oil and gas reservoirs. It is most appropriate for those involved with the oil and gas industry who would like more information about the terminology and technical aspects of development...

Financial considerations for projects and investments are an ever increasing concern. This is especially true as petroleum projects become more complex and costly. Successful companies work using a decision making framework which includes a strict project progression (or gating) procedure to allow sound financial decisions to be made based upon a rigorous analysis of risk and uncertainty. It is therefore critical that all key members of the te...
