Energy Sustainability Presentation to be Given by Shell Oil President

Shell President John Hofmeister will speak at a seminar sponsored by the College of Engineering on Thursday, August 30. His visit is part of “A Dialogue with Americans on Energy Security,” a cross-country tour in which he and other members of Shell Leadership meet and engage in discussions with a wide variety of people on what it will take to meet the nation’s energy challenge.

He will deliver a speech, titled “How the U.S. Can Ensure Energy Supply for the Future.”

John Hofmeister was named President of Houston-based Shell Oil Co. in March 2005.

He believes that to ensure U.S. energy for the future, the energy industry must address the delicate balance between energy production and consumption with increased supply.

He calls for a full array of energy sources: conventional oil and gas — including access to resources presently off limits in offshore waters and on federal lands — as well as unconventional oil and gas from oil shale and oil sands. In addition, he encourages development of clean fossil fuels and alternative and renewable energy sources, while conducting business in socially and environmentally responsible ways.
