World oil prices: Has china played a role?
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the International Conference on Oil, Gas and Petroleum Engineering. You are what this conference is all about: exchanging ideas, sharing your cutting-edge research in oil and gas, and importantly, meeting other people with a common research interest. As energy transition gained traction and many countries strive to increase the share of renewables in their energy mix, the oil and gas industry faces unprecedented challenges. New or improved petroleum technologies will help maintain the competitiveness of the petroleum industry, and even create new demand for its products. Reliable supply of oil and gas at reasonable price will not only maintain consumer confidence, but also consolidate the role of oil and gas in energy transition. I hope this conference will open many fruitful and continuing dialogues among us.
