Future Energy Transitions: Impacts on Global Economy, the Industry and Your Company

Mark Gunnin, CEO of Hunt Oil, shares with us the lessons Hunt Oil learned in the shale fracking transition and LNG industry explosion, all involving rapid technological change, political challenges and changing economics. Mark sees a similar but larger transition facing the industry today, making the development of successful long-term investment strategies even more challenging. He envisions a path for his industry to invest long term on both sides of the coming transition. We will all learn from his insights.
Mark Gunnin | CEO, Hunt Oil Company
 
Learning Objectives – Attendees at this program will learn to describe how oil and natural gas will continue to play an essential role in transitioning to renewable energy; to summarize how investment and deployment of energy technologies can support balancing requirements of energy transition with growth in global demand; and envision how to balance fossil fuels and green energy investments.
