Without shift in incentives such as higher prices or opening new areas for exploration and development, activity could dry up

byEnverus

AUSTIN, Texas (April 15, 2024) — Enverus, the leading generative AI and energy-dedicated SaaS company, announced today that Andy McConn, director and head of Commercial Intelligence at Enverus Intelligence Research (EIR), will testify before the U.S. House of Representatives Natural Resources Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources at 9:00 a.m. ET Thursday, April 18, 2024. The oversight hearing, titled “Assessing Solutions to Secure America’s Offshore Energy Future,” will take place in Longworth House Office Building 1324.

McConn will testify about domestic offshore energy development and provide a commercial perspective about the region and its role in the global energy market. EIR’s analysis suggests that U.S. offshore oil and gas production is unlikely to grow for the foreseeable future without a significant shift in incentives such as higher oil prices or opening new areas for exploration and development.

McConn’s full testimony is available upon request.
