The North America LNG Market Update webinar on 14 January 2021
With LNG exports forecasted to be higher than preCOVID levels, there will be plenty of forthcoming business opportunities for the supply chain, including the integration of low carbon technologies. The EIC invites all companies to future North American LNG webinars to be held in April and July 2021. On 28 January 2021 we hosted the preview for Virtual EIC Connect Energy USA, receiving speakers from the EIC, Merrimac International Executive Search, TechnipFMC, Almaco, Calgaz Gasco, an Air Liquide company, Kiewit, Worley, ExxonMobil LNG, BP America, the University of Houston and Wood. The event highlighted the significant opportunities across upstream, midstream, downstream and renewables, and the role that energy transition and net-zero will play across the region. As the number one country for project opportunities globally, navigating the complexities and ensuring your company is fixed in the current transition journey will be key to success. Now, more than ever, the supply chain will need to ensure its relevancy during this reinvention of the energy marketplace. We are thankful to our EIC Connect USA advisory board, speakers, and our amazing EIC staff, for bringing this valuable event to fruition. Get in touch Share your news and views...
