September's API – Geopolitics of Unconventional

By Matthew Bertram·

From the ModalPoint Archive. This post dates from 2013, when ModalPoint operated as an oil & gas commercialization advisory founded by Mark LaCour — who remains a ModalPoint strategic advisor today. ModalPoint has since grown into decision intelligence for energy: go-to-market intelligence for selling into oil & gas, plus AI decision governance — see who we are now. The analysis below reflects the industry context of 2013.

A great luncheon with my oil & gas peers. Donald Evans was a superb speaker, tying poverty into the the global oil & gas market with plenty of humorous antidotes.

Nice to see some validation to my US energy security beliefs and how unconventional plays will make us truly energy independent.

Don’s take on how this will influence global politics was very thought provoking, and his Moroccan story touched everybody’s heart.

Meet some great new people and reconnected with peers. Then finally off to do my duties for the API board. All in all a fantastic day 🙂
