V-Con is Stockhead’s investing focused video conference series, bringing you expert insights, panel discussions and presentations from leading analysts, listed small caps and industry players.

This latest video conference focuses on the oil and gas sector.

Oil prices have largely stabilised near $US40 per barrel after collapsing in April. The International Energy Agency says demand has rebounded strongly since then, with OPEC now predicting demand for crude to bounce back at a historically quick pace in 2021.

OPEC says demand will spike ~25 per cent to 29.8 million barrels per day next year – bringing it slightly above levels seen in 2019.

Speaking with industry experts, we hear about oil’s road to recovery, key demand drivers, the LNG market, movement in the gas price and much more.

We also hear from a handful of listed juniors making waves in the region, each giving an overview of their activities, discoveries and future plans.
