Houston, Texas — April 30, 2009

Summary

Given the recent changes in Federal and State laws and regulations, major adjustments within the oil and gas industry are to be expected. However, within the context of an economic downturn, there is an ever growing concern about volatile world oil prices, the increasing use of renewable fuels, the increasing production of unconventional natural gas and the shift to more efficient vehicles. It is an industry in flux, within an equally unpredictable global market. So how are industry professionals dealing with these changes and how are they responding to the concerns? Can large oil companies readily adapt and can smaller energy firms compete on a global scale? Join a discussion with Chicago Booth alumni and energy professionals who will share their expertise and perspective on the current industry, and hear their take on the future of the industry.
