Technology - Midstream Market Outlook
With the expansion of U.S. oil production in places like the Permian basin we have seen a corresponding expansion of pipeline infrastructure development to bring this feedstock to refiners and export markets. The U.S. energy industry, and the midstream sector, has also been uniquely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. This panel will provide an outlook for pipeline development in the United States, along with insights into key market drivers influencing midstream investment decisions. The panel will also discuss the outlook for midstream recovery in a post-pandemic era, and review some of the key infrastructure projects that are now underway.
