Covid-19 Impact in North America energy security

Abstract

The US oil and gas industry has been negatively impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, following the collapse of international oil prices. This has affected production rates and thus the future supply of hydrocarbons produced in the United States. Hence the interest in analyzing its consequences on the cross-border energy trade of the United States with its two close neighbors: Canada and Mexico. If it had an adverse effect on energy trade, the pandemic would certainly have an impact on North American energy security and in the geopolitical project of shale gas.
