Long Term Gas Supply Contracts

Tuesday, July 02 to Wednesday, July 03, 2013
NH Berlin Friedrichstrasse, Berlin

With the increasing flexibility that LNG, spot markets and shale gas offer, the European gas industry in 2013 is witnessing a significant shift in the traditional order of power.

The last 12 months have delivered a number of landmark arbitration decisions on long-term gas supply contracts, with significant awards adjusting price structures away from oil indexation and striking down take-or-pay provisions.

    These arbitrations have raised a number of critical issues and provided a new level of clarity for long-term contracts currently in dispute.

    Both sides of the market are looking for concrete answers to the myriad challenges they face in both re-negotiating their existing contracts and drafting future long term gas supply contracts. What has industry learned from these crucial developments and how can you apply the lessons learned to your contract negotiation and arbitration strategies right now?

    C5’s third annual Congress on Long Term Gas Supply Contracts is the only event focused exclusively on this industry critical issue. Now firmly established as a leading event in the gas industry calendar, this Congress attracts all key players from both the supplier and purchaser sides. It is an event that no-one involved in the negotiation or renegotiation of long term gas supply contracts simply can afford to miss.

    Leading arbitrators, legal counsel and expert witnesses will provide comprehensive and practical advice on:

    • Drafting robust long terms supply contracts that are reflective of current contract trends, arbitration awards, and the shifting market sentiment from oil to spot indexed pricing
    • Successfully commercially negotiating pricing reviews on existing long term contracts
    • Common legal issues encountered in arbitration and how to get them right
    • The impact of new supply sources, suppliers, LNG and shale gas on pricing and contract negotiations going forward
