Gastech Specialist Events Launches the European Gas Market Forum

PRLog (Press Release) - Feb. 23, 2012 - The development of a more liquid, competitive, accessible, transparent, well-governed, and interoperable gas trading market in Europe is a complex but essential process, required to create an integrated gas market.  Recently, significant changes in European and international gas markets have impacted price formation, contract structures, and the ‘globalisation’ of the gas industry.

The programme analyses commercial and technical perspectives on developing effective strategies for trading and matching your organisation's short and long term objectives to prevailing market conditions and practices.  The Forum will explore exciting new developments in the growth and utilisation of new exchanges and hubs, the expansion of new forms of financial instruments, and recently adopted forms of contract and contract renegotiation that have come about as a result of changing market conditions.
