OIL2101. Welcome & Introductory Remarks and Keynote: Economic and Political Update

In 2021 we have seen a bounce-back of global oil prices, a resurgent global economy, and a buoyant driving season, fueled by the roll-out of Covid-19 vaccines. We have also seen the initial policy signposts from the new administration, and the resurgence of the virus, both here in the U.S., and other parts of the world.

In this session Mark Snead, President and economist at RegionTrack, Inc. will provide his view of what we might expect to see through 2022. Attend this session to get his expert perspective of the economic outlook for the industry as a whole, as well as for specific segments and regions of the energy-producing business.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify the critical drivers and scenarios most likely to impact demand for oil & gas in a post-Covid environment
• Assess the differential impact on various regions and sectors of the oil & gas industry
• Analyze the implications of changing economic dynamics on oil and gas investment, production, and workforce decisions
