Noted oil analyst Tom Kloza will take an exclusive look at the winds that will shape downstream markets this decade, with a particular focus on the Midwest. He’ll tell you why the global oil markets in 2008 bear little resemblance to the market that existed just three years ago, and detail precisely what has shifted. Blending humor, thirty years of experience, and real insight, he’ll give attendees a view of what represents horse sense and what represents nonsense in the waves of oil price rhetoric that rain down daily. He’ll also look closely at the state of U.S. refining in the next three years, and why future U.S. supply balance may be dramatically different from the 2005-2008 period
