GENERAL SESSION: GLOBAL ENERGY OUTLOOK—WHAT ARE THE CHALLENGES?
| Moderators: | Ahmed Hashmi, Technology Vice President, Strategy, Planning, and Communications, BP Melanie Kenderdine, Associate Director for Energy Initiative, Massachusetts Institute of Technology |
To meet today’s and tomorrow’s energy needs, all available energy sources must be accessed, enhanced, and utilized in both the developed and developing world. The questions that have captured many worldwide news headlines are: why are oil and gas prices at their current levels, what are the challenges ahead in meeting rapidly growing energy needs, and how do we address concerns about energy security and climate change? Some of the challenges include development of new technologies that enable discovery of new energy resources, enhance of oil and gas recovery, and reduce finding and development costs; rising project development costs; environmental concerns from growing CO2 concentration; and skilled labor shortages in the industry. This panel will explain the nature of the energy challenges and share their views on what is required of the public and private sectors to deliver affordable and sustainable energy for the future. |
| Panelists: | Martin Craighead, Group President, Baker Hughes William Davie, Chief Economist, Schlumberger Nick Lampson, US Congressman and Chair, US Congressional Energy Committee Paul K. Siegele, Vice President, Strategic Planning, Chevron James A. Slutz, US Deputy Assistant Secretary for Oil and Gas, US Department of Energy |
