COVID-19: UK industry focus - Where next for oil and gas?

The oil and gas sector is no stranger to turbulence. The spread of COVID-19, resulting in global lockdowns and dramatically reduced economic activity, has led to a tumble in demand for oil. 

The industry has recovered and reinvented itself multiple times in the past. However, what makes this crisis unique is how it may accelerate underlying structural trends, such as Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) themes and the energy transition.

Our experts discuss how the oil and gas sector might fundamentally reshape, and how best it can adapt to thrive in the longer term.

“Crisis after crisis, the sector has been able to recover and reinvent itself through innovation. But as the full extent of the damage wrought by COVID-19 becomes apparent, this time looks very different.”
