Against the backdrop of the shale gas revolution in the U.S. and plummeting oil prices globally, how can investors spot where the energy market is heading?
The Energy World is Flat is a new book that analyses today’s rapidly changing international energy markets, forecasting developments and predicting key trends that will inform winning investment strategies for private and professional investors.
The book examines ten forces that are contributing to a more globalised, equalised and flatter energy world and helps readers understand the economic implications of the quest for more affordable, abundant and clean energy.
The book draws parallels between past and current shifts in the energy markets and makes comparisons with the internet revolution and Dotcom bubble, to identify critical lessons that can be applied directly to today’s crude oil and energy markets.
As the global energy marketplace continues to transform in unexpected and fundamental ways, having a profound influence on the energy macro-and mircroeconomic landscape, The Energy World is Flat offers expert guidance for those who want to capitalize on and profit from these ongoing changes.
Written by energy financial experts, Daniel Lacalle and Diego Parilla, the book encourages savvy investors to ignore fashionable trends and employ solid return on capital as a key guideline.
