Houston Events Houston Chapter Photo Gallery March Monthly Meeting Date: Thursday, March 11, 2010 Time: 11:30am doors open for networking; meeting starts at 12 noon Location: Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, Houston Branch (1801 Allen Parkway) Topic: Déjà Vu All Over Again: The Oil Market in the 2010s Although many believe that the oil market has entered a new era, there are many reasons to think that it will resemble the 1980s more than a transformed future. Non-OPEC production appears set to grow, some OPEC nations are shifting towards emphasizing production growth, and demand has been blunted. Political risk seems likely to increase before it recedes, but regulatory risk in the US remains high. The industry could be in for a rough ride if not prepared. About the Speaker: Michael C.
