Jake’s recent successes include obtaining from the U.S. Department of Commerce the groundbreaking Enterprise classification—the first time the U.S. Government allowed the export of light crude oil—and the criteria for the re-export of Canadian crude oil. He also advocated for the elimination of all U.S. crude oil export restrictions, which were lifted on December 30, 2015. Read Jake Dweck’s full bio here.
