Texas Industrial Energy Management Forum
In 2017, Hurricane Harvey hit the coast of Texas in Rockport and the associated record rainfalls in Houston, Beaumont and other coastal areas contributed to the worst flooding these cities have experienced in decades. One of the many responses to this natural
disaster have been efforts to reflect on pre-storm preparedness and to identify and implement changes to improve resiliency to these types of events. The chemicals and petrochemicals manufacturing industries play a major role in driving resiliency. So it is
important to understand some of the factors that impact the resiliency of theseindustries and what can be done to mitigate these factors. Our panel will help us
understand some of these factors so that we can continue efforts to enhance our energy infrastructure resiliency.
Panelists will provide a 20 minute presentation on the forum topic followed by a panel discussion and Q&A from the audience.

April 2017 Monthly Dinner Meeting: Trends in LNG – Bigger isn’t always better
Abstract
Mid-scale LNG liquefaction has gained considerable attention in recent years as a cost competitive solution to monetize natural gas. Mid-scale LNG requires a different mindset from large-scale LNG and the discussion will focus on a few concepts to make mid-scale LNG attractive.
