| 27 May 2013 - 29 May 2013 | Independent Power Projects: Meeting Energy Challenges in an Age of Austerity - New for 2013 - Seminar Director: Dennis Stickley & Benjamin Kinney Organisor: CEPMLP Contact: Hugh Gunn and Joanne Rendall The global demand for electricity has been projected to double by 2030. This increase comes at a time of reduced government budgets and a tightened climate for project finance. The concept of an Independent Power Producer/Independent Power Project (IPP) has been around for more than 30 years. Under the IPP model, governments or regulatory agencies outsource electricity generation to a private entity, in return for various guarantees of reliability and availability. The nature of these transactions has led to, at best, mixed results for both host governments and private entities. In an age of fiscal austerity and increasing government reliance on public/private partnership to create infrastructure, the IPP has gained new currency.

| 27 May 2013 - 31 May 2013 | Monitoring and Regulation of the Upstream Petroleum Sector - Seminar Director: Michael Bunter Organisor: CEPMLP Contact: Hugh Gunn and Joanne Rendall Petroleum regulation is the customary law of the oilfields. It has developed over the last 150 years from the sound working practice of expert oilmen (such as petroleum engineers, geologists, geophysicists) and specialists (such as accountants, lawyers and tax experts) into the Good Oilfield Practice. This code of practice advocates setting and maintaining international code of the highest technical standards despite the pressures faced by the exploratory and production sector - increasing costs, soaring salaries, a dwindling pool of skilled manpower and the need for constant investment in advancing technologies.
