‘Boom-Bust Oil Prices: No End In Sight’ Date: Thursday, March 18 Time: 12pm to 1:15pm EST Join the NEC and Bob McNally of Rapidan Energy Group for a discussion on energy and oil prices. The wild boom-bust volatility in global oil prices over the last fifteen years is the result of the absence of an effective swing producer. US shale oil production can’t play the swing producer role and the jury is still out as to whether the new Saudi-Russian “OPEC-Plus” group will become an effective, durable swing producer that is required for stability not only for oil prices but economic growth, energy transition policies, and geopolitics. REGISTRATION IS OPEN! Registration will be open until 11am, Thursday, March 17, 2021.
