Abstract

The impact of the COVID-19 hammered the oil and gas industry in 2020, forcing WTI prices to go negative for the first time on record. We haven’t seen a full recovery yet and the recent highlights in the financial markets shows us the fragility of today's financial system. During these times of ongoing volatility in global financial markets, we’ll discuss the oil and gas prices. 

Our event will address the following issues:

- Oil collapse in 2020

- The recent highlights in the financial markets and effects on oil and gas prices
