Facing the challenges ahead
The crude industry faces unprecedented challenges in 2009. Volatile oil prices,
demand destruction, economic turmoil and a new US presidential administration will all
factor into the market’s future. Shifts in product demand are changing the way refiners
select their crude slates. Canadian potential is high, but production may be thwarted by
the new lower-priced oil environment. The Asia-Pacific region is still on a growth track,
and demand from that region is rippling into the Atlantic Basin. And with new Brazilian
production coming online, Latin America may be “back in the ballgame.”
This conference tackles key issues, illuminating these crucial
topics:
• Crude demand and refining slates in a post-gasoline America: How will shifts in
global refined product trading and consumption patterns impact US crude slates
• Crude by land: Assessing the true potential of North American supply: Canada
has oil, but how and when can it get to the US refineries that most need it
• Crude by sea: What will the pull of oil into Asia-Pacific do to the relative
values of Atlantic basin crudes Is there hope for a rebound from key Latin
American crude producers
• Crude’s new frontiers: Offshore, unconventional and Washington politics.
What impact will the new US administration have in the market What is
the potential for offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. And what about the
untapped potential of shale and other unconventional sources
• Crude finance: What is the impact of the credit crisis on the crude
markets What is the evolving role of futures and derivatives
Don’t miss this opportunity to join senior executives,
business developers, traders and analysts
at this exciting inaugural event.
