Why do oil prices drop or soar? What impact do the current global political events have on the prices? And what does it all mean for Guyana, one of the latest petroleum producers?
To answer these questions as well as to deepen the society’s overall understanding, the University of Guyana in collaboration with ExxonMobil’s Centre for Local Business Development will be hosting a Special Lecture on Crude Pricing tomorrow. The event will be held at UG’s the Education Lecture Theatre (ELT) from 13:00 hrs and is expected to conclude by 14: 30 hours.

He is also a nonresident fellow at the Columbia University Center on Global Energy Policy.
