America?s Offshore Energy Industry . .- The Four Seasons jackson Hole, WY October 4-6, 20l7 20 7 FALL MEETING MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN Welcome to 2017 NOIA Fall Meeting as we celebrate 45 years of representing the offshore energy industry. Speaking of years, what a difference one year makes. Last Fall, continued low commodity prices and the election projections promised a rough year ahead. While the price of oil hasn’t changed much, the attitude both in Washington, DC and in our ranks certainly has. In April, after years of low commodity prices and an unprecedented regulatory deluge, the offshore industry desperately needed to see some hope for the future. A few short months later, the Trump administration has shown that has truly embraced an “all-of-the-above” energy strategy. Recognizing that the offshore industry provides jobs, growth and revenue and strengthens our national security, the administration continues to implement the right policies that will open our resources to safe and sustainable development. The Department of Interior has begun work on a new Five Year Program, one that will fully consider our offshore resources, including those in the Atlantic and Arctic. As other countries continue to develop their own offshore resources, it is imperative that the U.S. open up the more than 94% of the OCS that is off limits for oil and gas development. Relatedly, Interior is reviewing the permits for safe and modern seismic surveys that were previously denied during the final days of the Obama administration. Updated seismic data, particularly in the Atlantic where data is more than 30 years old, will allow stakeholders to have a fully informed debate. Furthermore, overly burdensome and ineffective rules are being reexamined, ensuring that the final rules reflect good policy and sound science, not political whims. Our 45 years of experience tells us that much work remains if we are to unleash our full energy potential. We have seen the change from becoming energy sufficient to energy independent and as the administration and Congress work towards “American energy dominance,” NOIA and our members will be a resource every step of the way. With more than 260 member companies involved in every aspect of the offshore industry, NOIA’s voice will be an integral part of the movement to energy dominance. To that end, I again welcome you to NOIA’s 2017 Fall Meeting October 4-6 in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. It is our first time in Wyoming and will be a stellar meeting. Our long-time friend and ally, Vice President Cheney will join us and we will receive a warm Wyoming welcome from Governor Mead. We will hear from leading experts in policy, economics and national security and chart our course for the coming year. As always, it will be a great time to network with fellow executives and long-time friends. I look forward to catching up with all of you.
