Dr. Medlock's presentation abstract 

The one constant is change. Nowhere is this more true than in energy markets, which renders predicting the future with any precision to be folly. However, an outlook rooted in fundamental analysis is important to understanding the long term evolution of markets as well as the short term instigators of uncertainty.

Global crude oil and natural gas markets are each in a period of transition, although for different reasons. In each case, pricing is a major source of uncertainty for commercial interests and policy-makers alike. Is the current weakness in oil and gas market prices a harbinger of a “new normal”? How will current and emerging policy paradigms influence market outcomes? More importantly, what can help us answer such questions?

This talk will highlight critical issues in understanding what the future may hold.
