Platts 2nd Annual European Gas Storage -2008, Budapest

European Gas Storage is central to supply continuity in the region, but could existing capacity meet demand in the face of a major supply disruption? How can strategic new-build decisions be made without capacity transparency?

New-build projects are under way: What are the risks and rewards open to new projects? How are regulatory hurdles overcome?

Platts 2nd Annual European Gas Storage conference will bring together leading regulators, new-build project operators, academics, and market players to debate the way forward in regulation, new-build, and gas storage investment, bringing you the information you need to make your strategic decisions.

Topics Will Include:

Gas storage capacity predictions: Implications for supply security
National new build case-studies: Salt caverns and aquifers vs. old oil and gas fields
Bridging the regulatory gap: Reducing market uncertainty?
Cross-border transparency: To build or not to build?
Gas price curve: Implications for gas storage
The role of gas hubs in storage development
Finding the balance between market dynamics and regulation
