PANELISTS
Steve Barth Senior Business Developer, Vitol, Inc.
Michael Bertuccio President and COO, Ouray Energy Management and
President, Harvard University Club of Houston, (AB '90)
Eric Calderon President and CEO, L-K Industries, (MBA '13)

Gleeson Van Riet EVP and CFO, SilverBow Resources, (MBA '96)
Topic I Managing Price Risk Given that energy prices are relatively stable, at relatively low levels (compared to recent price history), is price-risk management less important for energy producers and consumers? Are the trading practices that enable price and margin hedging less important today? (And in the future?) With lower price levels and lower volatility, is a decline in demand for hedging services in store for trading practitioners and risk marketers?
Topic II Capital requirements The last two years have seen a surge in bankruptcies, affecting small producers and service providers in particular. Does ‘lower for longer’ pricing of energy commodities drive industry restructuring toward higher capitalization levels – greater size of business and balance-sheet strength – such that small entrants are disfavored?
Topic III Power generation by ‘renewables’ Wind-generated electricity accounts for an increasing proportion of the supply mix of the Energy Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) - approximately 15% in 2016 - and wind’s contribution to ERCOT supply is growing. Is power generation from fossil sources destined for continued decline?
