The Road Ahead for Oil and Gas Markets in 2026
Global oil and gas markets are navigating a period of significant uncertainty. Oil prices face persistent downward pressure as supply strength meets slowing but still growing demand, while natural gas remains stubbornly weak despite optimism around LNG expansion and data centre-driven energy use. In this presentation, Marcus Rocque will provide a clear overview of current market fundamentals, outline the key trends shaping price dynamics, and discuss how these forces could influence the trajectory of Canada’s oil and gas industry over the coming year. Attendees will leave with a greater understanding of the factors driving today’s energy markets and the potential opportunities and challenges ahead for Canadian producers.
Registration closes on Friday, December 5 at 8AM MST.
