He has been an advisor to the highest levels of the US, Russian, Kazakh, Bahamian, Iraqi and Kurdish governments, to the governors of several US states and the premiers of two Canadian provinces, a consultant to private companies, financial institutions and law firms in 25 countries and has appeared over 1,400 times as a featured television and radio commentator in North America, Europe and Russia—including ABC, BBC, Bloomberg TV, CBS, CNN, NBC and Russian RTV and regularly on Fox Business News.

His new book The Vega Factor: Oil Volatility and the Next Global Crisis, takes an in-depth look at the reasons why oil prices will never again be reflected by fundamentals of supply and demand. Instead, it will be controlled by traders and the widening disparity between the price of “wet” barrels and “dry” barrels.

Dr. Moors has created and advised international joint ventures, structured offshore and multinational financing packages, negotiated international contracts and fiduciary agreements and directed emerging market research and development (R&D) projects.

Dr. Moors is a contributing editor to the two current leading post-Soviet oil and natural gas publications (Russian Petroleum Investor and Caspian Investor), monthly digests in Middle Eastern and Eurasian market developments, as well as six previous analytical series targeting post-Soviet and emerging markets. He also directs WorldTrade Executive’s Russian and Caspian Basin Special Projects Division. The effort brings together specialists from North America, Europe, the former Soviet Union and Central Asia in an integrated electronic network allowing rapid response to global energy and financial developments.

Professor in the Graduate Center for Social and Public Policy at Duquesne University, where he also directs the Energy Policy Research Group, Dr. Moors has developed international educational programs, run training sessions for agencies of the US government, and served as an external implications consultant to ongoing policy areas having high levels of uncertainty. He is particularly known among public and private sector policy makers for providing targeted political, market and risk assessments in crises or rapidly changing environments. Until revisions in US policy, Dr. Moors was slated to be the deputy director of the Iraq Reconstruction Management Office (IRMO) in Baghdad.

Program Topics

The Future of Natural Gas - Recent breakthroughs in the development of new natural gas sources, combined with rising concerns about the environment and energy security, have significantly changed the energy outlook. Both in North America and abroad, prospects are rising for a new “gas age,” one in which the U.S. may be self-sufficient for a least a century. Drawing upon his extensive experience and major briefings presented worldwide, Dr. Moors provides both general and specialist audiences with the latest developments, prospects, and concerns. Among the major issues addressed are: -How shale gas, coal bed methane and tight gas transform the energy balance -Why the U.S. leads the world in these new developments -The impact on energy, economic and policy choices worldwide

Protecting Integrity: Avoiding Risk in the Global Marketplace - Developing and implementing an integrated plan to combat global market risk is an essential component of any organizational plan, especially during the current unstable market. Yet, less than 20 percent of corporations or public sector entities have any risk-management approach to protect reputation. Without a plan, organizational identity is in jeopardy and that could prove fatal. As executive managing partner of Risk Management Associates International, Dr. Moors has pioneered innovative and interactive strategies to manage reputational risk. In his presentations, workshops and seminars for corporate and government leaders worldwide, he shares the following: -How to develop successful risk management strategies -What risk factors need to be integrated into an international market plan -Why reputation is not a tradable commodity

Meeting the Oil Challenge - With crude oil, gasoline and diesel prices reaching all-time highs, the availability and pricing of oil products have become major national concerns. The effects extend well beyond the pump. Economic prospects, employment, national security and the American way of life are at stake. In a highly engaging presentation, recognized international oil authority Dr. Moors answers the following questions: · How much oil is left · Why oil prices are rising · What the public and the government can do about it

The New International Oil Market: Economic and Political Developments in a Rapidly Changing Environment - The current international economic and political climate is dramatically impacting the oil markets and will continue to influence the market for the foreseeable future. In the process, the way oil is produced, refined and controlled will undergo significant global change. How policymakers rise to this challenge will be the fundamental test of the next decade. Dr. Moors provides audiences with an enlightening discussion of the oil market by reviewing the following: · The changes that will occur over the next decade in the oil markets · Which developments are influencing the energy mix worldwide · How the U.S. must respond

The International Credit Crunch and the Crisis in Oil - With a worldwide recession rapidly approaching, the difficulties experienced in banking, investment and finance is adding to the volatility in energy markets. Both credit and foreign exchange problems will create a new stage in the global oil crisis. In a discussion for either general or specialist audiences, Dr. Moors applies his decades of international experience in advising governments and corporations to the question of what we must do to meet this latest crisis. Among the issues addressed are: • How the credit crunch will impact oil trading and availability • Why the next wave of price changes in oil products will be more volatile • What changes in policy and market approach are needed to meet the challenge
