Much of the work will be carried out in syndicate groups where teams will simulate real in-company practice, working with other delegates drawn from a wide background of disciplines in the industry. Delegates are introduced to the key elements affecting the international market of oil trading. Crude valuation, ocean tanker transport and freight are explored together with a basic overview of terminals and pipelines. The structure of a refinery will be explained in the context of the need to produce marketable products. Aspects of product quality will be covered together with the key refining processes needed to achieve them.

After reviewing the background of supply, refining and transportation, the course focuses on the key markets, pricing and the mechanisms involved in international oil trading. Aspects of the various exposures encountered in trading are covered together with an introduction to price risk management. Syndicate exercises will address each skill required. Additionally, during the week, delegates are given the opportunity to trade in the current market via a simulation of live trading. There are no pre-requisites for this course, nor is any advanced preparation required.

This course covers the advanced trading techniques applicable to the management of price risk in international oil trading. Through a variety of case studies, delegates will learn the techniques involved in trading and how to address day-to-day problems of managing the price risk associated with the role of producer, refinery or consumer with an integrated trading position. Much of the work will be carried out in syndicate groups where delegates will learn to develop and manage trading strategies designed to maximise corporate profitability and reduce exposure to losses arising from the price fluctuations. It is recommended that delegates should either have attended TR0 or TR1 or have a strong working knowledge of the subjects covered in these courses.

After reviewing the background of supply, refining and transportation, the course focuses on the key markets, pricing and the mechanisms involved in trading. Aspects of the various exposures encountered in trading are covered. Advanced trading instruments of swaps, CFDs and options are presented in detail, both from a theoretical and practical point of view, giving the delegates an insight into the application of these instruments in the development and management of a successful trading strategy. Syndicate exercises will address each skill required, providing the delegate with the essential tools and knowledge to successfully manage the price and accompanying risks of their strategy. Additionally, during the week, in a continuous theme case study, each syndicate group will manage their own company positions of equity production, refining supply, product disposal and speculative trading, identifying the pricing risk of new positions and reacting to changing market prices which simulate a live situation.

This one-day, non-technical workshop provides delegates with detailed working knowledge of the application and pricing of innovative risk management tools. The terms 'Exotic' and 'Advanced' are reduced to a common denominator such that the material is easy for delegates to comprehend. This is accomplished through comparisons with 'plain vanilla' and other commonly used option spreads both in terms of pricing and payout. In addition, the course examines how dealers hedge their exposure in exotic options, valuation anomalies, delta hedge ratios of 1000% or higher and potential dealer manipulation issues. Finally, a case study is used to facilitate a better understanding and the proper use of these sometimes bewildering instruments.

The IAEA have stated spent fuel management is one of the more important factors influencing the future of nuclear energy. With the increasing amount of nuclear waste being produced, creating and maintaining a strong interim storage programme is critical. With billions being invested in nuclear technology in the next ten years, storage must demonstrate to be safe and effective, not just to regulators, but also to the general public. The Habog facility in the Netherlands has been licensed to store nuclear waste for 100 years which demonstrates the time-consuming plans for implementing deep geological repositories. Ahead of the repository programme, international cooperation is necessary to ensure state-of-the-art interim storage strategies.

In light of this, C5 has developed the inaugural Nuclear Interim Storage International Conference. This conference has been designed to give waste management organisations, utilities, regulators, government and contractors an essential update on fast paced international developments in the form of case studies. Gather not only an insider’s view of up-to-the-minute ground-breaking waste management developments, but open up the opportunity for you to personally meet and network with you peers.

Leading authorities on nuclear waste management will share their knowledge and experiences to help you steer through 2010 and beyond, with specifically tailored case studies including:

-Creating a very strong interim storage agenda before the repository programme arrives -Interim storage of spent nuclear fuel at Ignalina NPP -Recent developments in technical guidance for the management of HLW’s -Heading towards a global optimisation of waste management scenarios including waste packaging, transportation, interim storage and disposal -Safety principles for the design of up-to-date storage facilities -Measures to assure the disposability of radioactive waste following long term storage
