Pre-Conference Workshop:

Outlook for Gas Storage and Gas Storage Valuation

Wednesday, May 28, 2008 | 1-5pm

ICF International will present its projections for gas storage throughout North America. The workshop will investigate how the development and use of storage is likely to be impacted by different market conditions. The importance of gas storage for managing growing production from the Mid-continent Shales and from LNG imports will also be investigated. The status of current storage projects will be summarized and the value for new gas storage will be discussed. Measures of intrinsic and extrinsic values for storage will be provided, and the means by which the full value of storage may be captured will be discussed. Values of storage reflected by different types of storage services, including load following and hub balancing services will be investigated. Results of different case studies showing the value of storage will be presented.
