The 13th Five Year Plan has implications for the oil and gas industry. In addition to policy changes in China, the drop in oil prices means oil companies across the world are faced with reduced profits, cutting budgets and staff as well as adjusting exploration and production strategies. AmCham China in partnership with AustCham Beijing will host a panel with the presidents of major oil & gas companies to discuss the energy outlook in China and the world, in addition to the impacts of the 13th Five Year Plan.
Each speaker will present on his respective company’s outlook in the face of the 13th Five Year Plan and the drop in oil and gas prices. A panel discussion will follow when panelists will answer questions from the moderator and audience.
Following the event, please join us for a reception with a free flow of local and Australian beers and wine.
