Accenture Roundtable
Setting out a practical path towards decarbonisation for oil & gas; how to transform a fossil fuel-based energy system to one that is sustainable and decarbonized
Decarbonizing the world’s fossil fuel-based energy system is one of humanity’s most urgent challenges. It also represents one of the greatest opportunities to make global energy supplies more available, reliable and affordable than ever before. Oil and gas companies can lead the transition. But only if they take the right actions today and set the right ambitions for tomorrow.
Reshaping your portfolios, Rethinking your operating models, Ramping up your innovation engines and Reimagining your industry collaborations
- What actions can oil and gas companies take today; from minimizing emissions from current operations and replacing existing sources of energy and demand with cleaner alternatives to adopting and scaling new energy sources, processes and technologies – what is the most realistic business plan for your organisation?
- How can collaboration across the energy system be enhanced (energy suppliers and energy services), be addressed, encouraged and improved in order to make the transition to a low- or no-emission future a reality?
- With oil back up to over $50 a barrel, is the transition momentum building or evolving?
- With 80% of emissions occurring beyond the reach of oil & gas companies, what role can the upstream play in limiting emissions?
- How do the roles of the majors, mids, small caps and service providers differ and how do they complement one another in achieving change?
- How can developing economies make their assets work in a decarbonising world? How can you balance the energy needs of your country with the energy transition? Do we see a twin-speed transition, depending on the East/West?
- What’s the end stage for the oil and gas industry?
- Where do see the near-term value regarding the transition? Are you prioritizing it to reduce your capital, to make cleaner carbon products, etc? How do these differ by region?
- How can oil and gas companies ensure pockets of value and return for their investors?
The roundtable will be taking place virtually on Thursday, 11th February 2021 at 7 AM (CST). We will be able to welcome no more than 15 participants in the roundtable. Should you be interested in taking part, please contact [email protected]
