COURSE OBjECTIVESThis 2-day intensive course will give the delegates a solid understanding of the entire natural gas value chain, from its chemical composition, units, exploration and production through processing and transport, and analysis of its myriad uses from power generation, liquids production, transport fuel and petrochemicals.

ABOUT YOUR COURSE DIRECTORVivek Chandra is currently working as a senior executive with an Australian

energy company. He was previously working in the Middle East and his extensive 20+ years international gas experience includes ARCO International Oil & Gas Company, Schlumberger Overseas, and developing gas and other energy projects for UAE government entities, serving in a variety of technical, financial and commercial roles in the United States, South East Asia, Australia & Middle East.

Briefing

The Twentieth Pacific Petroleum Insiders (PPI 2010) IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS AND INSIGHTS FOR THE MARKETS

October 7-8, 2010 The Raffles Hotel Singapore

A long-running annual briefing, trusted by senior management and corporate planners responsible for business development and strategic direction seeking an insightful vision of the Asia Pacific downstream market.

The Asia Pacific region is still key to the global downstream industry. While it was not immune to the global financial crisis in 2009, the region still provides select opportunities for growth. The future of the industry with market deregulation, liberalization, globalization, expansion, downsizing, and integration, in the face of financial crisis, investment downturn, volatile prices, and lower refining margins create not only challenges but opportunities for those with keen insights and vision. Entering 2010, with the economy rebounding, the region is set for a profound growth worthy of closer inspection. The Pacific Petroleum Insiders (PPI) briefing has in the last 19 years, become the most authoritative assessment of the down-stream oil market in the Asia Pacific. In addition to providing analysis of key industry developments on an annual basis, it has also given Insiders rare insights into the Decision Makers, who attend this event on a yearly basis and use many of the key indicators examined to structure and re-align their operations, business models, and strategies. Combined with the technical and market knowledge of the faculty, PPI will provide an insightful approach to decision making on competitive and strategic levels, in addi-tion to updates and new data on the global energy scene.

Conference Connection is pleased to announce the sixth Asian Bitumen conference 2010: changing supply/demand dynamics (AsB 2010), will be held in Singapore on 14-15 October, 2010. Continuing in the tradition of excellence, AsB 2010 will continue to provide insights into the changing bitumen market picture and the resultant new challenges and opportunities. Since its inception in 2004, this exceptionally timely conference has become the annual meeting place for senior decision makers and key players in the bitumen industry with over 700 delegates from 30 countries having attended the past five events.

In the past year, the Asian bitumen market has been subjected to firmer crude oil prices and shrinking refinery margins against a backdrop of economic recovery. This conference will look at the impact of economic recovery on Asian bitumen demand as well as refinery decisions to produce bitumen amidst firmer bitumen prices. Is bitumen overpriced? Will China become a net exporter come 2012? What would be the impact on supply/demand dynamics in this region? AsB 2010 will address these critical issues and help you prepare for these changing times and the challenges ahead, and keep you prepared to tap into potential opportunities.

As in our previous conferences, this dedicated forum will provide a continuing platform for thought-provoking debate on current issues and challenges facing the industry. Over these years, the conference has received your overwhelming support and has become an important meeting point for the industry. We are sure that this year too as in the previous events, we will receive your growing support.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

ABOUT THE ORGANIZER

Ara Barsamian has 40 years of practical, “oil on his hands” experience in blending gasoline, diesel and bunkers, including biofuels. Currently, Ara is President of Refinery Automation Institute, LLC (RAIL), a fuels blending automation consulting company in Morristown, New Jersey, USA. Ara, the developer of the blending course, is one of the world’s leading experts in blending operations and technology. His 40 years of hands-on experience in the petroleum refining industry, particularly in computer-controlled optimized blending, oil movements and tank farm automation ensures that you get valuable “how-to” insights for headache-free fuels blending. He designed, implemented, started up and commissioned over 60 blending and oil movement systems in the U.S., Europe, South America, the Middle East and Asia. Previously, he was a group head and section head with Exxon Research and Engineering Company, President of 3X Corporation, and Vice President of ABB Simcon, all in the area of blending automation and optimization. He is an active member of ASTM, ISA, ILTA, and AIChE, participating in committee/subcommittee work relevant to blending and offsites

automation equipment, software, installation, and measurements test standards and practices. Ara holds B.S. and M.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering from City University of New York.

ABOUT YOUR COURSE DIRECTOR

ABOUT THIS COURSE The introduction of new types of “Green” gasolines and diesels such as ethanol blends (E5, E10, CBOB, RBOB), ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD), first and second generation biodiesels (B2-20), and possibly “cleaner” bunkers to the worldwide fuels markets has turned blending into a highly technical process. Furthermore, because of the 30 plus specifications that must be met simultaneously, the difficulty of formulating gasoline and diesel blends has been expanded by several orders of magnitude. This three-day course is designed to provide a comprehensive overview and discussion of gasoline and diesel blending techniques, technology and cost/benefits. It addresses contemporary issues such as the latest specifications, ultra low sulfur fuels, impact of Ethanol and Bio-Diesel blending, and environmental impact of various gasoline and diesel specifications. Case studies are used to illustrate the relative importance of each aspect of the fuels blending operation, together with specific exercises. This program allows participants to interact closely with both the speaker and others in attendance to exchange ideas on blending techniques. Attendees will receive a 500+ page coursebook and free take-home blending software that will be used for hands-on class exercises. The Fuel Blending Course was first launched in 2009 and held in Singapore and Dubai to sold out audiences. A separate two-day course on bunker fuels blending is also available in two venues in 2010. Visit www.cconnection.org for further details.

It is recommended that all delegates bring a Laptop with Microsoft Excel 2003

software and the SOLVER add-in software already installed for this course.
