[ONLINE EVENT] The Japan-America Society of Washington DC – The U.S. Oil and Gas Market Challenge facing Japanese Business: COVID-19 X Factor
Tuesday, June 9, 2020 | 8:00 am - 9:30 am
The fracking revolution that began a decade ago has drastically altered the geography and economics of global energy supplies. This revolution has led to a renaissance in oil and gas/LNG investment that few could have foreseen. The COVID-19 crisis has presented another severe—and unpredictable—disruption that has led to an unprecedented drop in the global oil and gas/LNG market. A drop this precipitous and sudden is unprecedented in the history of the energy industry worldwide. Join the Japan-America Society of Washington DC for a moderated discussion with American and Japanese experts on energy business and governance.
