How continued investment into North Sea E&P plays a crucial part in advancing the energy transition
As European states continue to explore their options to secure a greater diversity of energy away from Russia, what is available to them – within the context of the energy transition – is slim. With that in mind, the North Sea’s oil and gas producers do stand alone as the most progressive players when it comes to engaging on their energy transition commitments.
With consumer prices reaching unsustainable levels for a prolonged period, while the climate shifts continue on their downward spiral – the Energy Council examines how continued investment into North Sea E&P can play a crucial role in advancing the energy transition.

How can existing energy infrastructure be transformed into something that is suited to a diverse energy mix?
‘Diversity of supply’ steadily entered the energy industry lexicon as the energy transition grew and found its feet, reflecting the need to balance fossil fuel pollutants with cleaner renewable generation capacity. Prior to this point, states relied on their resource-based competitive advantage, whether it be the world’s petro-states or ample hydroelectric supply. As the need for renewables grew, the often-hostile environments that preference wind and solar power suddenly found exceptional utility.
The role of the oil & gas supply chain in accelerating and supporting the energy transition
In the grip of a global energy crisis, the perception of the oil and gas has wavered from incongruent with climate goals to necessary to achieve them. In light of consumer price constraints, the prevailing thought is to call for increases to oil and gas production in the short-term to secure some energy cost relief. However, for the oil and gas sector to capitalise on this reprieve as primary climate offenders – there is a growing acceptance for their role in decarbonising energy processes, lowering their asset’s emissions profiles and reimagining the supply chain to support the energy transition.
