HOUSTON, April 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Renowned energy expert Matt Simmons will discuss the sobering state of the oil and gas industry -- from the natural gas glut to the Obama Administration's energy policy and the growing talent vacuum -- in a special Oil and Gas Investor presentation on Thursday, April 30, 10 a.m. CDT, from his remarks at the "Strategies for High Performance in Volatile Times" conference.

All registrants will receive a complimentary copy of Hart's VISION 2009: Global Energy Outlook special report - a $99 value.

A few of Simmons' comments in this 50-minute webinar include:

-- "The gas glut is a joke; it's not real...What a tragedy to destroy our most valuable natural resource -- because of bad data."

-- "It is alarming to see 100% of the focus (in Washington) on climate change and none on supply."

-- "Some 15% (of oilfield workers) are young and untrained, and 85% are within a few years of retirement. That's not Houston or Dubai -- that's worldwide."

-- "The EIA supply model is fantasy land. We are now in the process of destroying the U.S. gas industry."

-- "What is a fair price for oil? ... I think $150 was too low."

Mr. Simmons, who founded oilfield investment-banking firm Simmons & Company International, also touches on ethanol, wind power, the rusting of energy infrastructure, industry layoffs, college recruiting, Kazakhstan's Kashagan Field and much more.
