Price Risk Management for Oil&Gas Exporters

III Annual International Forum ?Price risk management for oil & gas exporters, traders and consumers? will take place on the 14-15th September 2006 in Moscow, at Congress Centre of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation.

This year you must have observed the stupendous price volatility for crude oil, products and gas on international and local markets. Moreover, prices often significantly change within one single trading day. With production and exports ever increasing, petroleum exchanges and energy agencies continually see new record prices for all global benchmarks. The industry sensitivity to and dependence on the price volatility has made everyone ? producers, refineries, traders and consumers ? seriously consider possible measures to cling to their markets and to continue to be commercially viable. Many companies recognise that only using price risk management tools they can stay afloat.

The forum will cover the following topics:
? Oil exports, efficient sales markets and pricing mechanisms to mitigate risks of oil exporters
? Price risks management tools in oil and gas trading
