2nd Annual European Gas Storage February 10, 2008

European Gas Storage is central to supply continuity in the region, but could existing capacity meet demand in the face of a major supply disruption? How can strategic new-build decisions be made without capacity transparency?

New-build projects are under way: What are the risks and rewards open to new projects? How are regulatory hurdles overcome?

Platts 2nd Annual European Gas Storage conference will bring together leading regulators, new-build project operators, academics, and market players to debate the way forward in regulation, new-build, and gas storage investment, bringing you the information you need to make your strategic decisions.

Topics Will Include:

• Gas storage capacity predictions: Implications for supply security


• National new build case-studies: Salt caverns and aquifers vs. old oil and gas fields


• Bridging the regulatory gap: Reducing market uncertainty?


• Cross-border transparency: To build or not to build?


• Gas price curve: Implications for gas storage


• The role of gas hubs in storage development


• Finding the balance between market dynamics and regulation
