The North American petroleum renaissance offers enormous potential to add to world supplies of crude oil, petroleum products and natural gas, particularly new supplies of LNG for Asian markets.

LNG

U.S. LNG exports are subject to complex regulatory programs involving both the U.S. Department of Energy and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Participants in the briefing will gain unique insights into the economic, political, and regulatory forces at play that will determine the ultimate volume of LNG shipped to Asian markets. Of particular interest is how these regulatory programs might change in the coming years altering expectations on U.S. LNG exports to Asian markets.

Crude Oil

will likely seek regulatory relief. How this regulatory relief is likely to play, its implications for alternating shifts in world flows, and its implication to the structure of North American refining will be fully evaluated.

Natural Gas

Understanding the forces that are likely to keep U.S. natural gas prices low is an important element in gaining a full understanding North America’s potential to provide feedstock for both LNG projects and cost-efficient energy for operating U.S. refining operations. U.S. natural gas production is quickly becoming fully dependent on continued expansion of U.S. shale oil production. It is the growth of natural gas production associated with oil production that is the key element in sustaining U.S. natural gas cost and supply potential. Participants will gain a full understanding of both the cost and regulatory constraints that will determine thefor shale oil output, and the associated gas that accompanies this production.

Refined Petroleum Products

U.S. refined products can be exported without restrictions. Will constraints on crude oil exports provide a permanent advantage for U.S. refiners throughout the Atlantic Basin, and what are the implications for Asian markets to the sustained growth in U.S. refined product exports.

Attend the one-day briefing in Singapore on November 11 and/or Bali on November 13 to understand the cost and regulatory constraints that will determine shale oil output and associated gas that accompanies this production, as well as how these path breaking trends will affect your business.  Senior management of global and regional oil companies, refiners, financial institutions involved in the production, trading, marketing and distribution of crude and petroleum products are expected to attend.

BRIEFING LEADERS

The briefing will be led by by Lucian Pugliaresi, President & Trisha Curtis, Director of Research, Upstream & Midstream of The Energy Policy Research Foundation, Inc. (EPRINC).  EPRINC was selected as a winning corporate advisory group by U.S. Defense Department (Office of Net Assessment) to support their effort to understand the strategic importance and global implications of the North American Petroleum Renaissance.

The Briefing Leaders, to be joined by a panellists and moderators from Statoil, DNV, Bentek Energy, and the Province of Alberta whom will address the economic and strategic implications of the renaissance that is expected to diversify global energy supply.

In particular it will emphasize the current and projected oil production as well as shale plays, underpinned by technological advance, in both Canada and the US, and examine how this will create dramatic market adjustments for Asian, Middle Eastern and African producers and consumers of crude, petroleum products, LNG and natural gas.
