Lord Nicholas Stern of Brentford Kt, FBA on Climate change, is one of our informative and un-missable keynote speakers.  The rich mix of IHS experts will be enhanced with other eminent speakers and we will let you know who to expect over the next few weeks.

The Symposium will provide an expansive and balanced view of the opportunities and risks today’s energy companies face across the energy life cycle, including unique insights into the impending impacts from heightened geopolitical and environmental forces.

IHS brings new insights into these dynamics, reflecting the combined expertise of CERA and our three newest additions to the IHS family, Jane’s, McCloskey and Herold. The resulting sessions will address the complexities and interrelationships of resource access, the microeconomic trends that drive our industry, and the increasing role of on-the-ground security, political risk and environmental concerns in shaping the strategies and valuation of energy companies around the world.

The two-day Symposium will address:

• Building the Global E&P Portfolio of the Future, including an analysis of today’s resource holders and the financial implications of the strategies that companies are leveraging to build tomorrow’s energy portfolio.
• An examination of the Herold annual Global M & A Performance Review, including an overview of global merger and acquisition transactions, cost trends and geographic movement of capital.
• Managing the Value Chain from Midstream to Downstream, bringing insights to delivering tomorrow’s energy and the evolving cost challenges. This will include an in-depth look at gas and power scenarios, global LNG, and heavy oil and its implications for refining capacity and bottlenecks.
• Insights into the ever-growing challenges of Commercial, Political and Environmental Risk and what it means to you.
