Young Professionals in Energy is proud to present: OPECs role in Oil Market Equilibrium. A talk with Dr. Skip York.
OPEC appears to be coming to the realization that global oil market dynamics have changed, but one thing that hasn’t is the need for OPEC to play a role. Disruptive catalysts like Iranian production, global capex exodus, and tighter standards for carbon emissions magnify OPEC's impact on the global oil market supply/demand balance.
Dr. Harold "Skip" York is the Vice President of Integrated Energy in Wood Mackenzie’s Americas Research Team. He is responsible for cross-segment integration of petroleum market and infrastructure issues. With over 20 years of worldwide experience across the energy value chain, he has deep expertise in petroleum market economics and price-setting mechanisms including valuing non-fungible crudes across a number markets, NGLs, and leveraging technologies for competitive advantage.
He is a frequent guest on news networks, such as, Bloomberg and CNBC and contributes a blog on www.Forbes.com. He can be followed on Twitter: @SkipYorkEnergy. Prior to joining Wood Mackenzie, Skip worked for ExxonMobil in a variety of strategic planning assignments including a role as the global expert on joint venture best practices and a member of the Exxon – Mobil post-merger integration team. He also consulted for clients at McKinsey & Company and with Charles River Associates. He holds a PhD Economics from the University of Virginia, as well as a Masters of Science and Bachelor of Science also in Economics from the University of Wyoming.
