Argus Americas Crude Summit 2015

Falling crude prices mean a more competitive crude market in 2015

The global oil market has been presented with a paradigm shift. The price collapse will reshape the economics and logistics of the Americas crude markets as dramatically as they were reshaped by the shale revolution itself. The Argus Americas Crude Summit provides delegates with the insight and information they need to survive and thrive.

Issues to be discussed:

The impact of OPEC: OPEC is not going to be managing the market by adjusting its production. But can OPEC remain unified and for how long? Delegates will walk away well informed on how these dynamics will play out.
Shale production breakevens: What are the production costs in different shale regions? What production is at risk? What will still be “in the money?” And can producers force service fees lower?
Survival strategies: Hear how the leaders of Continental Resources, Valero, Tesoro, Plains, Alon, Monroe Energy and others are preparing their companies to succeed in an increasingly competitive crude market.
The refiner advantage: Low prices mean refiners may use producer-on-producer competition to get steeper discounts. But at what point will the rate of shale crude absorption hit the refinery wall?
Export realities: If the US is allowed to export, then the global market share battle changes dramatically. But does the world want the quality of crude and condensate the US has available to export?
