Organizers for the 2017 Eastern Energy Expo, taking place May 21-25 in Hershey, Pa., announced the keynote speaker will be Tom Kloza, co-founder and global head of energy analysis for the Oil Price Information Service.

The Eastern Energy Expo is co-sponsored by the Oil and Energy Service Professionals, the Atlantic Region Energy Expo, and the Pennsylvania Petroleum Association.

The week of the conference coincides with the first 120 days of the Trump Administration. Kloza is expected to look at the implications of the President’s energy policies for the petroleum industry.

He will address how supply could be affected by allowing more drilling on federal lands and allowing the Keystone and Dakota pipelines to be completed. Kloza will also discuss how refined products will be impacted by potential changes to the Renewable Fuel Standard.

Other important questions to be addressed: Will President Trump endorse Congressional efforts to impose a border tax, and how might that be applied to imported petroleum products? Will exported products, including natural gas, benefit from this policy and increase prices and production? Will increased economic activity and job creation create more energy demand and higher prices?
