Industry Conference
Future of Energy Investing: Exploration, Production and Clean
Technology Conference
At the end of 2008, the price of oil was down by 61% for the year,
after hitting a record high of $147 a barrel in June. In 2009, prices
have averaged in the 40s and 50s. However, by mid-September oil futures
rose above $72 a barrel, near its high for the year, after the U.S.
Energy Department reported that inventories dropped to the lowest level
since January.
E&P companies have seen their stock prices drop, but analysts say
cost cutting measures implemented in the past year coupled with
increasing production levels, a stabilizing economy, and the rising
price of oil are making the industry an attractive investment right
now.
New investment in the alternative energy sector reached a three-year
low earlier this year. During the first quarter of 2009, new investment
fell 53% to $13.3 billion. However, the WilderHill Clean Energy Index
(ECO), an AMEX-listed index that tracks 88 publicly-traded alternative
energy companies, recently shot up to nearly $23, after starting the
year at $17, a gain of nearly 35% in just six months.
The Obama administration’s commitment to clean energy is one
driver supporting investment in the sector. The industry recently
received $31 billion in tax credits and other financial incentives, as
well as $134 billion in loan guarantees for large green
projects—well above the $30 billion the industry attracted in
North America last year.
Is there more upside left in the energy exploration and production
industry? What clean technologies will be the leaders in the coming
year? What other energy trends should investors watch for? Don’t
miss this chance to meet industry insiders, including the CEOs and CFOs
from some of today’s fastest-growing and innovative energy
companies.
