Energy markets are in turmoil.   Prices have been crushed, energy producers are under stress, and consumers are enjoying a bonanza of savings.  In the midst of this turmoil, the elections are on the horizon.  The stage is set for 2016-17 to be transformative years for the energy industry. But what kind of transformation will it be?  Well, it depends.  On lots of things. Prices.  Supply/demand.  OPEC/no-OPEC. And of course, the outcome of U.S. elections.  The elections, and the positions (or lack thereof) taken by candidates during the campaign will be bellwethers of the market the industry will face over the next two years and beyond.  Today in Brace for Impact - of the 2016 Elections on Energy Policies, Politics and Markets we set the stage for a new kind of conference being hosted by RBN, Sutherland, and Goldwyn Global Strategies on May 10th in Houston.  Warning, today’s blog is an advertorial for the conference. 

There are only three more days to take advantage of the Early Bird Rate for RBN’s next School of Energy, and there are three more reasons to attend!  We have finalized the agenda for the first day we are calling Pre-School International Energy Day, with three additional experts joining us to discuss international destination markets for U.S. crude oil, gas, and NGLs, including the regulatory issues involved and the latest developments concerning Federal approval of full-blown crude oil exports.  The full three day School of Energy is scheduled for September 28, 29 and 30.  As we’ve said many times before, this is nothing like other conferences! The course work is hands-on. In each module we’ll drill down on an important aspect of the market, explain how it works, download a spreadsheet model and learn how to use it.   Be forewarned - today’s blog is a commercial for our upcoming Houston conference.
