Last year, the world witnessed significant “phase changes” in the energy industry. Oil prices continued to decline, reaching a record 12-year low by January 2016. Record low prices occupied the clean energy industry as well, with benchmarks making solar photovoltaic and wind energy competitive with oil prices even at USD 10 per barrel. For the first time in history, new investment in clean energy projects surpassed investment by oil and gas companies.
In this Speaker Series Event, we investigate the energy outlook of the GCC for 2016 by discussing five hot topics related to recent global and regional trends. Our Guest Speaker – Mr. Sean Evers, the Managing Partner of Gulf Intelligence – a leading regional energy communications consultancy – will help us unravel these five topics emerging from Gulf Intelligence 2016 Industry Survey of 250 energy professionals operating in the Middle East. More specifically, we will discuss topics around the impact of oil prices on GCC economies, sanctions-free Iran on the gas market, disruptive technologies, and China slow economic growth – amongst others.
