The commercial arrangements across the LNG value chain provide the structure that links together the stakeholders involved, their roles and responsibilities, the commercial structures and the risk and reward balance. In this course, you will learn what is required to develop an LNG project, including the timescales and the costs involved at the various stages of development. You will be introduced to the contract terms, economics and the pricing formulae used to evaluate the project. You will also learn the importance of financing and the need for long term LNG SPAs to underpin the investment.
