Westlark Adivsors Appreciates Our Clients – Part Two
Energy Insight Sessions: Topics Important to the Industry
While the Westlark team and guests certainly enjoyed the California wine country during our recent client event (Part One), we also took time to discuss several timely topics that currently impact the propane market.
Energy Insight Sessions
Adrian Calcaneo, OPIS a Dow Jones Company
Our educational sessions started off with Adrian Calcaneo, VP of Energy & Feedstocks for OPIS. During the “Global LPG Market Disruptions” presentation, Adrian touched on a number of topics impacting global LPG movements. He also provided an AI-generated analysis of how important the United States’ LPG supply is to the rest of the globe.
Scott Gray, Snapper Creek Energy
We moved from that macro movement to a waterborne perspective. Scott Gray, whom we call the “OG” of waterborne data, provided in depth view of vessel sizes, waterborne movements around the globe, and continued to support the view from Adrian’s presentation that the United States’ supply is vital for the rest of the world.
Matt Adams, Westlark Advisors
Our own Westark team member, Matt Adams, then addressed the ever-pressing question of “Where are Prices Going?”. Using many years of historical data, Matt demonstrated patterns that our team has seen in the propane market and how we can use these patterns to help with future purchase decisions.
Mark Wenik, TransTech Energy
After a brief break, we kicked off the second half of our educational seminar with Mark Wenik from TransTech Energy. Mark highlighted synthetic natural gas, electrical generation, and datacenters as opportunities for increased propane demand in the coming years.
Colin Sueyres, Western Propane Gas Association
The next session was kicked off by Colin Sueyres, the President/CEO of the Western Propane Gas Association, who referred to himself and his message as “the spectre of death.” After that laugh, he went on to describe the growth of regulations within the state of California and how these regulations could have implications for other states within the United States.
JD Buss, Westlark Advisors
Before anyone could escape to a winery, our own JD Buss closed out the educational seminar. He identified several challenges that the retail propane industry has dealt with over prior years and then highlighted how our company rebrand from Twin Feathers to Westlark Advisors would better address some of these challenges in the future.
In Conclusion: We Appreciate You!
Our Westlark Team is incredibly grateful for all of the speakers that took time and energy to prepare their presentations and make the trek to California for our seminar. The combination of learning with exploration of some wineries, made for a spectacular time for all!
