Monday Evening, October 19th: Welcome Cocktail Reception
Speakers, delegates and attendees are welcomed to an evening at the
The InterContinental London Park Lane.
Tuesday, October 20th and Wednesday, October 21st: Conference Agenda Topics
Select:
Ministerial Forum and Corporate Keynote Speeches
Top energy ministers and corporate leaders will offer their perspectives on how they are confronting today's geopolitical and business challenges.
From Spare Capacity to the Next Supply Crisis
Top industry experts will analyze the global oil supply picture and the refining outlook. Key issues will include:
— The effects of the economic crisis on investments
— The supply implications of various price scenarios
— The potential and likely locations of new supply growth
CEO Forum: Global Upstream Challenges
CEOs from the industry's major players will gather to discuss the challenges the industry faces in developing new upstream plays, managing the financial crisis and coping with market volatility.
The Geopolitics of Energy
The political nature of energy, perennially linked to the sources of supply and demand, always attracts public attention at moments of crisis. However, the current geopolitics of energy have become as complex as they have ever been, as energy security issues once again have risen to public prominence and the industry continues to grapple with the tensions and challenges of the evolving relationships between NOCs and IOCs.
The Coming Carbon Economy: What it Means for Oil and Gas
While leaders in many nations discuss ambitious targets for reducing emissions of greenhouse gases, a debate rages within the energy industry about how to respond. This panel will attempt to answer the following questions and examine their implications for the energy industry:
— What are the likely costs and opportunities of different options for meeting the targets?
— How will the oil and gas business change as a result?
Cost, Capacity, and Personnel: Critical Challenges for Oil Support Services
The capacity constraints that plague almost all sectors of the global petroleum business are proving difficult to overcome, especially as the industry confronts continued tight supply of critical inputs such as skilled labor and specialized equipment. How will these challenges affect not only the oil services sector but other support sectors as well?
The Financial Crisis and Its Impact on the Energy Business
Our panel of energy and financial experts will address the short- and long-term implications of the financial crisis and present a wide range of closely reasoned perspectives on future outcomes for the oil industry. We will also venture some introspective analysis on how the industry got the supply and price picture so wrong.
Global Natural Gas: Feast or Famine?
As with the oil industry, the global natural gas business is facing price pressures and global instability. This panel will investigate topics ranging from North American non-conventional gas sources to European supply security and the impacts on the global gas business of lower gas prices.
New Dimensions in Oil Trading
The unprecedented volatility of oil prices and the financial crisis are fostering a range of new challenges to oil trading. How will a new regulatory environment and greater pressures on oil as an asset class transform oil trading?
New US and EU Energy Policies and Priorities
Obama's election heralds a new direction in US energy policy, a new policy response to the carbon challenge, and a new set of incentives to develop new energy sources to reduce the US dependence on imported oil. Our panel of experts will examine these changing policies and shifting priorities of the new US administration as well as the degree of congruence and conflict with European energy priorities.
