What’s next for energy companies?

Energy companies were already struggling with dropping oil prices and uncertain market conditions before the COVID-19 corona virus epidemic began. Now with the virus spreading in dozens of countries around the world, including the US, energy companies are scrambling to understand and contain its impact.

•	How the Corona virus epidemic is affecting global energy demand and energy companies
