Will the natural gas challenges persist? How will international tensions affect oil supplies? How do heating fuel supplies compare to historic levels? What can propane customers expect this winter? Add these to your list of questions for the energy experts at this year's 2004-2005 Winter Fuels Outlook Conference.

This annual event sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Energy Assurance (OEA), National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), and Energy Information Administration (EIA), and hosted by the National Association of State Energy Officials (NASEO), will be held on Wednesday, October 6, 2004, at the JW Marriott, Pennsylvania Avenue, 1331 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, DC, 20004.

In addition to the Winter Heating Fuels Overview presentation by Guy Caruso of the Energy Information Administration, we have arranged an exciting slate of speakers including national experts in the areas of natural gas, distillate, crude oil, and propane. Sessions of note include:

  • World Oil Market Outlook. This presentation by a leading energy strategist will offer the latest assessment of world crude oil supplies and inform attendees about important production and price scenarios that could influence markets.
