U.S. crude oil, NGL and gas markets have entered a new era. Exports now dominate the supply/demand equilibrium. These markets simply would not clear at today’s production levels, much less at low rates coming over the next few years, if not for access to global markets. It is more important than ever to understand how the markets for natural gas, NGLs and crude oil are tied together, and how the interdependencies between the commodities will impact the future of energy supply, demand, exports and ultimately prices. Making sense out of these energy market fundamentals is what RBN’s School of Energy is about.

Now we have extended our traditional U.S. coursework with new international content and models. You will learn not only what is driving U.S. exports, but where those exports are going, and why.

And there’s more! This year, School of Energy has been restructured so that Day 1 is all about Fundamentals, with everything you’ll need to understand the inner workings of energy markets. Day 2 is focused primarily on North American oil, gas and NGLs with breakout sessions that concentrate on models and market drivers. Day 3 is about export markets, and how exports will change markets in North America.

Making Connections Across Energy MarketsIn RBN’s highly respected blog, industry conferences and consulting practice, we explain the how and why of the most important developments in the markets for crude oil, natural gas and NGLs.

At the School of Energy, we bring this perspective to an intense two-and-one-half-day curriculum of energy market fundamentals. Your instructors will apply down-to-earth, understandable concepts, real world examples and usable economic models toward the goal of understanding energy markets.

School of Energy Fall 2019 is all new and expanded into three segments:

Day 1 Energy Market Fundamentals (EMF) covers the basics of fundamentals analysis, including terminology, market evolution, the nuts-and-bolts of oil and gas production, the pipeline transportation grids, natural gas processing, demand sectors and the essentials of spot markets and trading. EMF is optional. You can register for EMF only, you can skip EMF all together, or register for EMF together with the remainder of the conference. Five models are included with the EMF sessions

Day 3 (Half Day) International and Exports. With a strong foundation in U.S. markets on Day 2, we move to international markets and exports on Day 3, considering export dock capacity, export economic relationships, and destination markets. Day 3 will also provide the opportunity for you to catch up with modeling sessions that you were not able to attend on Day 2.

Day 2 U.S. Crude Oil, Natural Gas and NGL Markets. The curriculum for Day 2 drills down into all of the current developments in U.S. energy markets. In the morning plenary session, we will review RBN’s forecasts for crude, gas and NGL markets, examining supply/ demand balances, infrastructure constraints, and pricing differentials. The afternoon will split into three tracks, with one focusing on the most important market issues in each of the commodity groups, while the other two tracks focus on specific models – how to use them and interpret their results.

We are honored that astronaut Terry Virts will join us as our luncheon keynote speaker on Day 1. Colonel Virts (retired) is a U.S. Air Force test / fighter pilot and NASA veteran of two spaceflights – a two-week mission onboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour in 2010 and a 200-day flight to the Space Station in 2014-2015. He is a celebrated thought leader, speaker and author who is currently working on multiple projects, including a new book and television series. He also is an avid reader of the RBN blog!! Terry will speak about his missions and how principles from space travel and the U.S. space program are applicable to today’s energy markets. Following his remarks, Terry will be joined on stage by Rusty Braziel to discuss the intersections between space travel and energy.

What if Energy Data could Organize Itself?Information overload!!!

We are all faced with a torrent of energy information, some incredibly important, much of it superfluous. What if you could receive only the data you need, updated in real time, available on your phone or other

mobile device, and organized so that the data most important to you is front and center?

That is what ClusterX is all about. It is a new way to receive, consume and understand energy data, news and other content. If this sounds interesting, plan to join us for breakout sessions where you

will get hands-on experience with our new energy information delivery system.
