Keynote address

Few oilmen have as many tales to tell as Harry Sargeant III. From his early days as a fighter pilot to owning the world's largest asphalt shipping fleet, Sargeant has left an indelible mark on the world of petroleum trading.

Energy transition and transportation fuels outlook

BP offers a view of the road ahead for liquid fuels:
   -   How and how fast will the world transition away from petroleum liquids?
   -   How will the geopolitical landscape impact supply-demand balances in the year ahead?
   -   And how will this translate to a bottom line - dollar per barrel pricing at the key trading hubs?

Michael Cohen, BP Chief US Economist & Head of Oil Analysis
10:15 AM

Viewpoint: Middle & heavy distillates

Decarbonization is the major theme in financial circles, but Russia sanctions & inflationary pressures are slowing things down. What can we expect from distillate markets over the year ahead?
   -   Is the diesel market ready for the winter? How much prompt volatility & market structure can be expect?
   -   When will non-fossil fuels make a dent in the diesel & fuel oil space? Where are the limits for competing fuels like RD and natural gas?
   -   When will we see Russian petroleum returning to the US & European markets? What will it take, and how long?
   -   When will non-fossil fuels make a dent in the diesel & fuel oil space? Where are the limits for competing fuels like RD and natural gas?
   -    IMO decarbonization rules kick in next year - how hard will fuel oil demand be hit?

The buyers: Latin America

US refiners have forged close ties in Latin America, processing the continent's crude and supplying it with fuels. Get an outline of the continent's prospects for the year ahead, including:
   -   How much Russian diesel will Latin America take? Are governments under pressure to sanction the flow?
   -   Why is Latin America so short of diesel? Are there any prospects of more self-sufficiency?
   -   Currency remains a hurdle for non-US buyers - will we see demand suffer as the US dollar strengthens?
