I would like to thank you for your participation to the 3rd Washington Oil & Gas Forum 2017, that was held on June 7th and 8th at the Cosmos Club in Washington, DC. I hope your participation in this event helped you gain valuable information and provided ample opportunities for you to network and develop relationships with speakers and attendees.
Among the distinguished speakers of the Forum were:
Hon. Rob Bishop, U.S. Representative (R-UT)
Hon. Gus Bilirakis, U.S. Representative (R-FL)
Hon. Bill Flores, U.S. Representative (R-TX)
Hon. Scott Taylor, U.S. Representative (R-VA)
Hon. Robin Dunnigan, Deputy Assistant Secretary, U.S. Department of State
George Sifakis, Director for the Office of Public Liaison, The White House
Rob Smith, Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, U.S. Department of Energy
Hon. Kathleen A. Doherty, U.S. Ambassador to Cyprus
This year’s forum attracted a distinguished line-up of the most influential US Congressional, Government and White House leaders and senior oil and gas executives. My aim is to promote American investments domestically and internationally in the oil & gas industry and to help make America energy independent.
The Washington Oil & Gas Forum took place at a critical moment for the American oil and gas industry, as last week President Trump on his statement announced that the United States ceased all implementation of the Paris Climate Agreement. This Agreement imposed energy restrictions that result in financial and economic burdens to the United States. The off the record and non-attribution discussions at the Forum, enabled the dissemination of market insight regarding the energy policy of the Trump Administration and its impact on the global energy markets. The speakers presented their views on topics such as deep offshore drilling, shale gas, LNG and crude oil exports, energy infrastructure, regulatory challenges, and tax reform. Over the last two days Congressional, White House, and Government decision makers along with American and international energy leaders discussed on the impact of President Trump's decision on the global energy markets.
I would like to express my gratitude to our Bronze Partners: ENI and Poten & Partners. Furthermore, my sincere thanks to our Knowledge Partners: Americans for Tax Reform (ATR), Energy Policy Research Foundation (EPRINC), and ESCP Europe Business School London, and to all our speakers and attendees who are participating in this year’s Forum!
U.S. Energy Stream and myself would like to thank you once again for your participation and contribution to the success of the Forum.
I look forward to welcoming you to future oil and gas Forums!
Best Regards,
