Choose the right perspective
Match the person's side of the market to yours, since marketing gas for a producer differs from buying and managing supply for a utility or power generator. Also match the region, because pipeline access, basis and market rules vary widely between basins and countries.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you decide between selling gas at the wellhead, at a hub or into end-user contracts?
- 02How do you secure pipeline capacity and manage basis risk for your gas?
- 03What contract terms matter most when you negotiate long-term gas supply or sales deals?
