Wednesday, Sept. 18, 3:30 pm - "US Petroleum Renaissance: A Holistic View"
with Lorna Greening. In the 20 years following OPEC, the US oil and gas
industry was significantly shaped by conflicting policies created in a chaotic,
politically-charged environment. Those policies resulted in a drastic decline in
activity in the industry, concerns about ‘energy independence’ and increases in
imports to approximately 60% of US demand for crude by 2008. With the
advent and wider-implementation of new exploration and production
technologies, specifically horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, this picture
has been altered. Come learn more from Dr. Lorna Greening, who is co-editor
of "Energy Policy," an international peer-reviewed journal addressing the policy
implications of energy supply and use from their economic, social, planning and
environmental aspects. In addition to her responsibilities with the journal she is
an economic consultant and researcher based in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
