North American Crude Oil Summit
How Will this Oil Cycle End?
April 10-11, 2017 | Omni Houston Hotel | Houston, Texas
Discuss Critical Issues Facing North American Crude
Market Players:
- Will the OPEC deal hold? And will it actually balance the market?
- Geopolitical risks-Will Nigeria, Iraq, Libya, and Venezuela troubles continue?
- Can US production bounce back with the success of Permian, SCOOP,
and STACK plays?
- How "Big Data" is making production more efficient
- Panama Canal expansion's importance on trade routes
- New bunker specifications-Is it time to worry?
- Can US LPG exports keep pace amid muted demand growth?
- What impact will Middle East refinery expansions have on product flows?
- Competition from Asia-Chinese teapots take first steps into
international trade
