ABSTRACT of Presentation
Joint Meeting of the SPE-GCS General Meeting Study Group and the Houston Chapter of the API
Political volatility is reaching historic highs since political advisory firm Eurasia Group began systematically tracking political risk following its founding 20 years ago. The world order is undergoing seismic shifts as the post-WW2 international order begins to fray amidst a rise in populism and anti-globalist nationalism. Key energy markets are in the crosshairs, with political volatility impacting both supply and demand, as well as the investment outlook for energy players. Eurasia Group Head of Research Strategy & Operations Meredith Sumpter will engage you in a discussion on how our world is changing and what this change means for countries central to global energy supply and demand. Her remarks will provide a forward-looking view on political risk impacting the outlook of energy markets including Mexico, Iran, China, and Venezuela.
