Last month's decision by the Commerce Department to allow condensate exports demonstrates an unprecedented shift in the already rapidly developing supply chain, not to mention in US energy policy as a whole. With production volumes still driving supply, and newly accessible markets expanding both at home and abroad, the opportunities for North American stakeholders are now greater and more apparent than ever.
Before this can be achieved however, it is imperative to evaluate both the size of the opportunity as well as address critical issues facing the supply chain. Diluent requirements, international demand, condensate product markets and regional production volumes and qualities all must be assessed when taking steps to capitalize on shifting supply/demand dynamics and regulatory breakthroughs.
On top of this, splitter capacity, domestic supply infrastructure, contrasting transportation modes, the value of different condensate qualities, safety, blending strategies and more all must be investigated in order to target investment when optimizing connectivity and maximizing profitability in this growing sector.
THE ONLY CONFERENCE IN NORTH AMERICA DEDICATED ENTIRELY TO CONDENSATE
Following on from the enormous success of last year's forum, the Condensate Markets, Export & Takeaway Capacity Summit, taking place in Houston on October 22-23, will once again bring together senior decision makers to discuss these issues and more.
With a brand new agenda incorporating the enormous recent shifts in the condensate value stream and 18+ experts and decision makers sharing their leading insights, the summit remains the industry's foremost networking and learning opportunity.
The huge overabundance of NGL's from the U.S. shale revolution has meant supply has dramatically surpassed domestic demand. These attractive economics led to global LPG export, and through the latter half of 2014, ethane export contracts to Europe and India through the likes of Ineos, Borealis and Reliance.
With the dramatic drop in crude at the end of 2014 the arbitrage between ethane and LPG and naphtha has become much closer, creating uncertainty over the viability for U.S. NGL export, at least in the short-term.
U.S. Ethane & LPG Export: ASIA 2015 is the only event that brings together leading industry figures from the United States and Asia to identify the most profitable markets for U.S. ethane and LPG.
Canadian NGL Markets, Infrastructure and LPG Exports Congressmarketinglbcg
The WCSB has seen an exponential growth in NGL production volumes as producers increasingly target liquids-rich plays like the Montney and Duvernay. However, takeaway capacity is failing to keep up with supply volumes and, additionally, with traditional U.S. markets becoming saturated, producers are urgently needing to find new markets for their NGLs.
In order to support the prices necessary for the continued boom in NGL production in Canada, therefore, it is vital that the industry works together to establish fractionation, rail and pipeline infrastructure to take NGLs to market and examine solutions for establishing LPG exports to open up new destinations for Canadian NGLs.
This year's 2nd Annual Canadian NGL Markets, Infrastructure and LPG Exports Congress, therefore, will bring together Canada's leading E&Ps, midstream operators, railroad and petrochemical companies to share solutions for optimizing NGL fractionation, rail and pipeline infrastructure in Canada and to determine the optimal domestic and international markets for Canadian NGLs and LPGs.
As production of crude, condensates, gas and NGLs in the Permian basin continue to soar, E&Ps require confidence that takeaway infrastructure will provide adequate capacity and link wells to optimally priced markets for each commodity. These challenges are exasperated by the glut of sweet light crude and condensates, which demand pipeline expansions, refinery retrofits and raise questions on safety and pricing across all modes of transports.
Midstream companies are keen to propose solutions across pipeline, rail, trucking and barge. The ability to understand production forecasts across each sub-basin and identify gaps in takeaway capacity to provide enhanced netback and flow assurance to competitors is more crucial than ever. Meanwhile operators need to understand how refinery upgrades, LNG exports and other market drivers will drive demand and pricing dynamics Permian Basin products.
Featuring a totally revamped agenda with 20+ fresh case studies from leading E&Ps and midstream operators, the 3rd Annual Permian Basin Takeaway Capacity & Product Markets Congress 2014, speakers at the event will be quantifying production volumes & examining timescales for establishing takeaway capacity & markets. The practical output will be to help the industry ensure that takeaway capacity and markets meet rising production of crude, condensate, natural gas & NGLs in the Permian Basin and ensure that infrastructure build-out keeps up with levels of supply

The document discusses the growing supply of condensate in the United States and opportunities for demand. It notes that the Eagle Ford region is the largest contributor to condensate growth and that most of its production is light and suitable for refining or splitting. There is potential for over 400,000 barrels per day of additional demand in the Corpus Christi area above currently planned exports and splitting capacity. Splitting capacity on the Gulf Coast is expected to reach 460,000 barrels per day by 2018 to meet demand. Canadian imports of diluent are projected to exceed 500,000 barrels per day by 2017.
This document discusses opportunities for non-pipeline logistics growth in transporting oil from the Eagle Ford region. Specifically, it notes that while pipeline capacity still exists, transportation has focused more on non-pipeline options like trucking. This is because pipelines have not adapted their operations to meet producer and market demands, while trucking offers more flexibility in destinations and reduces capital commitments. The document then outlines various initiatives to improve trucking efficiencies through standardized processes, new technologies, infrastructure investments, and converting fleets to natural gas. It also stresses the need for improved safety training programs and addresses current supply shortages of properly trained drivers and trailers to meet growing demand.
This document discusses China's growing natural gas vehicle (NGV) market and compressed natural gas (CNG) infrastructure. It provides the following key points:
1. China has over 4 million NGVs and over 4,400 CNG stations as of 2014, with annual growth rates of over 20% for vehicles and stations since 2010.
2. Most NGVs in China are used for public transportation and taxies, fuelled primarily with CNG rather than dual-fuel systems.
3. China is increasing its CNG infrastructure through building daughter refueling stations using hydraulic and 3-in-1 technologies, with capacities from 1,000-2,500 cubic meters per hour.
1. The document discusses strategies for setting tariffs for power plants. It explains that tariffs include fixed charges and variable charges based on electricity usage.
2. Regulatory bodies determine tariffs and ensure they efficiently allocate resources, satisfy fairness principles, and generate sufficient revenue for utilities.
3. The document provides examples of how to calculate the cost of electricity generation and the tariff rate based on total generation costs. It describes designing wholesale tariffs through determining revenue requirements and tariff structures.
Oil 101 - A Free Introduction to Oil and Gas
What is Midstream Oil and Gas?
As its name implies, the midstream oil and gas segment encompasses facilities and processes that sit between the upstream and downstream segments. Activities can include processing, storage and transportation of crude oil and natural gas.
In most cases, oil and gas reserves are not located in the same geographic location as refining assets and major consumption regions.
Transportation is a big part of midstream activities and can include using pipelines, trucking fleets, tanker ships, and rail cars.
The document summarizes the state of Nigeria's LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) market and opportunities for growth. Originally, LPG was only available from coastal refineries but distribution was limited. Efforts in the 1980s-90s to expand access through butanization depots stalled. Today, Nigeria's LPG consumption of 0.5kg per capita is far below regional averages. Challenges include inadequate storage, high retail prices due to imports, and lack of access for many consumers. Both public and private sector have roles to play, such as improving regulations, infrastructure, access to supply, and investment to develop the market.
The document outlines a market entry strategy framework comprised of four phases: market assessment, business case development, implementation roadmap, and go live. The market assessment phase involves research to understand regulations, customers, competitors, distribution channels, and the client's position. The business case development formalizes this to assess market attractiveness, ease of entry, potential partners, and ability to execute. The implementation roadmap establishes cooperation agreements and entry plans. The go live phase supports organizational structure and performance monitoring upon market entry.
This document discusses internationalization strategies and entry modes for international markets. It covers topics like timing of entry, types of entry modes including export modes, intermediate modes like licensing and joint ventures, and hierarchical modes with complete ownership. The objectives are to understand key determinants of internationalization strategy and how to decide when and how to enter new markets.
Transportation planning in SAP involves creating shipment documents to plan transportation of goods from vendors to customers. Key functions include transportation planning, shipment cost calculation, and shipment tracking. Shipment documents combine deliveries into shipments, specify transportation stages and legs, and generate outputs like shipping manifests. Shipment cost processing calculates transportation costs using pricing procedures and conditions. EDI is used to share information with external logistics systems using idocs for activities like advanced shipment notifications and shipping confirmations.
Transportation planning involves preparing for the movement of people and goods by identifying transportation needs, defining systems, and considering efficiency, quality, and equity. It uses several models and studies - including trip generation, distribution, modal split, and traffic assignment - to understand existing and future travel demand and develop an optimal transportation network. Common transportation studies in the planning process are origin-destination studies, traffic volume studies, speed studies, and parking studies, which provide key data for planning decisions.
The document outlines the new product development process, which includes idea generation, screening, concept testing, market strategy development, business analysis, test marketing, and commercialization. The goal is to develop, test, and evaluate new product ideas to ensure growth and survival. Key steps involve assessing opportunities, determining the product type, developing the concept, evaluating market potential and profitability, testing the product and marketing plan, and commercializing the new product. Following this process helps reduce risks and avoid costly mistakes when bringing new products to market.
North American Crude Markets & Storage Summit Brian Adams
The First Event To Reveal North American Strategies For Maximizing Netbacks In The Volatile Crude Pricing Environment Over 3 Days.
The industry is tirelessly working to manage the "new normal" crude pricing, with the current environment forcing re-evaluation of operations from all North Americas' producers, shippers and traders, as stakeholders adapt to volatility.
With domestic production outstripping demand, the hunt for the strongest markets and the most cost effective modes for supplying them has never been more critical. Further export volumes are being assessed as means to ensure U.S. competitiveness, and traders and shippers require commercial evaluation of said exports urgently. Storage capacity limitations are forcing stakeholders to explore innovative and unprecedented strategies to store their crude, both on and offshore, to capitalize on the contango.
This document provides an overview and analysis of the implications of lower oil prices for the North American rail and rail equipment markets from PLG Consulting. It notes that while shale oil rig counts are falling quickly in response to low prices, US and Canadian crude oil production will still grow in the medium term. It forecasts that crude by rail volumes will continue to increase through 2019, with the Bakken and Western Canada being the main drivers. Pipeline buildout remains a key issue, and crude by rail provides flexibility as an option to pipelines.

While America as a whole is undergoing a 'shale oil boom', the question that remains is "what do operators need to do to make it happen in California?"
The Department of Energy has estimated that the Monterey shale contains 15 billion barrels of oil - more than the Bakken and Eagle Ford shales collectively. This, combined with a mean of 6.5 billion barrels in San Joaquin fields such as the Kern River, Elk Hills, Midway-Sunset and Belridge South, around 1 million barrels in the Santa Maria basin, means California literally has the potential to become the most prolific oil resource within the US.
To fully exploit the Monterey and surrounding unconventional resources within California, the structural and lithological complexity of shale and diatomite reservoirs needs to be further understood to enable the identification of stimulation technologies that will maximize oil recovery, whether it be acid fracturing, hydraulic fracturing or steam injection.
The Tight Oil Reservoirs California 2014 Congress is the only E&P led congress with a specific focus on optimizing recovery in unconventional reservoirs within California. Leading E&P companies from the Monterey, Kreyenhagen and wider San Joaquin, Santa Maria and LA Basins will showcase optimized logging suites and seismic technologies to obtain key petrophysical, geomechanical and lithological data of California's sediments to finally be able to commercially exploit shale and to increase return on investment within diatomite.
Considering the sensitive nature of the current regulatory environment, strategies for complying with SB4 and AB32 and expediting hydraulic fracturing and steam injection permit approvals will be also examined. Finally, speakers will discuss case studies on how to source, transport and recycle water to ensure compliance with state regulations while minimizing operational costs within California.
The document summarizes the IHS Market Survey System (MSS), a service that provides market intelligence on oil and gas industry supplier markets. MSS delivers regular reports and analysis on over 30 market segments to help clients understand supply and demand trends, identify potential constraints, make strategic sourcing decisions, and track costs. It also profiles over 700 suppliers and contractors. The service helps oil and gas companies, financial institutions, and suppliers with strategic planning, business development, and project procurement.

https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address

SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Achieving Your Business And Marketing Objectives At The Summit
DEMONSTRATE THOUGHT LEADERSHIP
Condensate is fast becoming one of the most exciting commodities for the US
energy industry, and ensuring ever more abundant supply meets every increas-
ing demand is the number one priority for value chain stakeholders. You may be
pioneering these advances, but do your customers know what differentiates you
from your competitors? Use targeted, editorially reviewed keynote presentations
and case studies to demonstrate thought leadership to your target audience.
RAISE BRAND AWARENESS AND INCREASE YOUR PROFILE
Any solutions selected by industry leaders when optimizing efficiencies in the
growing condensate value chain must be subjected to careful cost-benefit analy-
sis. Of course Vice Presidents, Directors and Managers take into account profile,
credibility and market leadership when selecting suppliers to support their invest-
ment plans. Your organisation must be at the forefront when these decisions
are made. Cement your leadership position with targeted branding and profiling
campaigns directed at the major leaders of the condensate network.
MEET AND NETWORK WITH DECISION MAKERS
Thought leadership, branding and profiling are converted into contracts through
extensive face-to-face relationship building. As North America’s only summit dedi-
cated to condensate, this intimate forum enables you to meet specific job titles
in one place at one time, giving you the best possible chance of influencing key
decision makers.
