The global energy sector is undergoing a dramatic transformation. Advanced technologies, distributed networks and new regulations in nearly every subsector have strangled yesterday's business models. Foundational elements throughout the industry, including energy transfer and storage, have seen massive disruption. At the same time, price fluctuations, volatile consumer demand and cyber and physical security concerns continue to add to an unpredictable future.

Nevertheless, opportunity abounds, and that is why we are excited to present to you the newest edition of our Global Energy Game Changers series, a compendium of important issues presented to you by Dentons' Global Energy group. Our Spring 2016 issue is focused specifically on the Americas. From energy extraction in upper Canada, cross-border renewable programs between the US and Canada, new opportunities in Mexico's ever-changing oil and gas sector, and other changes and opportunities across the Americas, we take an in-depth look into the issues shaping the business environment in one of the world's most important energy regions:
