SPE Distinguished Lecturer – Bez Hoxha: “¿Qué significa realmente la transición energética para la industria del petróleo y el gas?”

RESUMEN DE LA CONFERENCIA:

Abstract:

What does energy transition mean? What are we transitioning to? How and when will we get there? In
hindsight, the energy transition movement means different things to different entities.
To operators, the primary focus is to transform their business (influenced by regulations and legislative
policies) by reducing their carbon emissions while also investing in cleaner low-carbon energy sources,
such as geothermal and hydrogen. For service companies, it is another potential revenue stream by offering
products and services oil and gas operators, as well as renewable power generation companies. For
governments, it is defined as an essential need for energy diversification in order to achieve sustainable,
self-sufficient solutions that are less impacted by socio-economic or geo-political factors, i.e., energy
security. It is important to note that the ‘public’ understand that what is driving this paradigm shift:
technology, policy, and cultural change. The energy transition concept will be broken down as a current
‘buzzword’ and popular concept that is fettered by technology hype, political agendas, and/or financial
influences that are attached to the term. Finally, light will be shined on how the industry’s previous
institutional mindset has changed to a broad, open-minded desire to create a net postive outcome using
Environmental, Social, and Governance techniques.
