The Brexit vote creates certain challenges and some possible advantages for the U.S.’s relationship with its oldest and strongest ally. The decision might also significantly impact the energy sector for the UK and its partners on issues such as shale drilling, the status of the North Sea, renewables and the allocation of energy resources. Prolonged low oil prices and Brexit may also serve as an opportunity for British and other energy companies to explore new models of corporate restructuring.
