The oil and gas sector is undergoing a monumental structural, long-term shift towards lower-carbon energy to meet net-zero targets, whilst at the same time managing the immediate need for reliable fuel and providing energy security. The industry is heavily focussed on decreasing operational emissions, scaling up carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), and investing in hydrogen and renewable power.

Oil and gas companies are following a range of strategies, at different speeds, with different levels of urgency, and consequently different outcomes. Those that include a clear pivot away from fossil fuels to renewables, or to reducing emissions, are currently seeing heavy capital investment in technology.

There has been significant debate about the current speed of transition within the sector as a whole and whether voluntary pledges on emissions are sufficient, or if something more legally binding is required.

This conference will examine which strategies are managing the energy transition most effectively, the key drivers behind successful transition and where that change will take the industry over the course of the coming years. With a speaker line-up of key oil and gas thought leaders, the agenda reflects the key question being asked: how to lead an industry through fundamental change, decarbonising at pace, satisfying regulators, communities and governments, and still delivering shareholder value.
