The International Energy Credit Association Conference to Feature Liquefied Natural Gas Expert from The Oxford Princeton Programme; 13-year veteran Dan Rowe to discuss benefits and takeaways of this alternative energy source and how it impacts the natural gas market

PRINCETON, NJ (PRWEB) February 19, 2004 --International Energy Credit Association, Inc (IECA), the oldest energy industry-credit association in the United States, will converge in New Orleans, LA on March 14-16 for its spring educational conference, featuring Dan Rowe, faculty member of The Oxford Princeton Programme.

Rowe will discuss the evolving role of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the U.S. energy markets and explain all the LNG facets from exploration and production to the ultimate end-user, pricing, and its role as a competitor of traditional natural gas.

"The Gas Liquids and Electricity (GLE) committee of the IECA was looking for someone with an unbiased opinion that could present on the relevance of LNG in today's market environment," explains Paul Krebs, chairperson of GLE. Several GLE committee members have experienced the quality of work conducted by The Oxford Princeton Programmes energy-education-executive courses and found Dan Rowes knowledge a perfect fit for our conference."

The IECA provides membership to credit and financial management professionals located in the United States, Canada, most Western European countries, Mexico, South America, and Asia. There are approximately 700 members representing over 450 large, medium, and small companies. The IECAs goal is to provide a forum for the free and open exchange of ideas and discussion of issues relevant to credit and financial management of the energy industry.

Rowe, a 13-year veteran of natural gas risk management and marketing, joined The Oxford Princeton Programme in December 1996. Rowe currently presents and develops The Oxford Princeton Programmes natural gas (including LNG), coal and risk management courses. His career began in the early 1990s as a gas analyst with AmGas/Alliance Gas. He later joined Northern Illinois Gas as a senior gas buyer, involved in commercial and industrial consumption and load forecasting. Rowe soon advanced to a physical natural gas trader at TexPar Energy, managing gas movement in and around Illinois, Wisconsin, Ohio, Michigan and Indiana. He traded both speculative book and hedged book of business during that time. Rowe has written several articles on hedging and derivatives for industry publications. In addition, Bloomberg News has interviewed him for his expertise on the North American natural gas industry.
