Oil, Gas & Power Project Finance

Dubai, U.A.E.
COURSE OBJECTIVE
This advanced program is designed to increase participants' understanding of the process that leads to the creation of suitable financial structures for large projects in the oil, gas and power sectors in the Middle East and North Africa. Lectures include many recent examples from Qatar and elsewhere of structured financing techniques used in creative ways to provide the necessary support and security for lenders equity partners and other energy investors. Numerous sources of funding and credit enhancement are described as well as approaches to assembling the most competitive funding packages. By the end of the program participants will have developed a framework for recognising, and analysing qualitative and quantitative project risks. They will have examined the ways in which project responsibilities and rewards can be allocated among various project participants. And they will have experimented with different financial structures, and modelled project outcomes with cash flow models. They will also be familiar with Export Credit and Multilateral Agencies and even Private Sector Insurance programs for providing debt, equity, guarantee, and insurance support for projects. The use of capital markets as a source of attractive funding, including eurobond issuance, 144A private placements and other sources of funding is also explored extensively through discussion of innovative deals and numerous examples drawn from around the world. On the programs fifth day participants will participate in an additional stand-alone cash flow modelling workshop. In a hands on session using software developed by "ProFin Tools they will create a model for an LNG Plant suitable to examining project debt capacity as well as return on investment, under various project outcomes
