At a recent event hosted by the Independent Petroleum Association of Mountain States, the audience listened intently to his views on topics ranging from peak oil to geopolitical trends to hybrid vehicles. With nearly four decades of industry experience and $180 billion in transactions informing Petrie's forecast, the atmosphere in the room recalled Warren Buffett's annual address to investors of Berkshire Hathaway.
