Join us for Boettcher's quarterly Catalyst Conversations series — virtual opportunities to showcase the incredible talents of our Alums, connect from afar, and explore unique, thought-provoking content.
This quarter, we will have a discussion with 2004 Scholar Justin Hayes who is the director of research at FLOW Partners, an analytics and investment advisory company serving investors in the oil and gas sector.
Over the past two decades, fracking transformed global energy markets, boosting supply but failing to deliver strong investor returns. As that boom matures and demand continues to grow, geopolitical risks (from Venezuela to the Strait of Hormuz) are reemerging. Meanwhile, the rapid rise of AI is adding new pressure to energy demand, challenging the idea that abundance will last. Justin will host an interactive session as he guides us through these issues.
