On January 28, 2010, the World Economic Forum (weforum.org) addressed increasing energy security concerns. Despite a significant decline in energy prices from their 2008 peak, major producing and consuming economies diverge on developing a more secure and stable energy system.

A central question was: How can producers and consumers develop mutually beneficial approaches to energy security?

Key participants included Ilham Aliyev (President of Azerbaijan), Thierry Desmarest (Chairman, Total), Khalid A. Al Falih (President & CEO, Saudi Aramco), Tony Hayward (Group Chief Executive, BP), Andrew N. Liveris (Chairman & CEO, Dow Chemical Company), and Peter Voser (Chief Executive Officer, Royal Dutch Shell).
