The IEA projects global demand for oil and gas is set to peak by 2030, with all major climate scenarios concluding that the 2050 energy mix will include oil and gas, albeit in smaller volumes than today. As the world continues to rely on energy for economic growth and technological advancement, oil and gas will have an important role to play in providing a stable and affordable energy supply. However, the industry is navigating multi-faceted challenges around delivering the required energy supply, meeting the expected returns of their public and private shareholders, and achieving decarbonisation and climate ambitions. How can oil and gas companies balance these different requirements? How are they working across the different value chains to help manage the demand? How are they future proofing their business model and operations through their investments?
