Host: Valin Steel

Date: Tuesday, 3 November

Moderator: Joshua Ngu

Meeting future energy demand will require infrastructure investment to keep pace with shifting supply sources, trade routes and demand centres. Pipelines, terminals, midstream capacity, ports and logistics networks will remain critical to the reliability and competitiveness of global energy supply. Yet long lead times, financing complexity and execution risk are widening the challenge between infrastructure needs and delivery. Closing that gap will require new approaches to capital and risk allocation, stronger cross-border coordination, and the materials, engineering and procurement capabilities needed to bring large-scale projects from investment decision to operation.

Unconventional resources are expected to play an increasingly important role in meeting future energy demand. Bringing together leaders from across the unconventional ecosystem - including international operators - this roundtable will explore global lessons learned, technology innovations and the opportunities associated with developing Abu Dhabi's world class recoverable unconventional resources (22bnoil and 160 tcf gas).  The discussion will position Abu Dhabi as an emerging unconventional resources hub while highlighting the partnerships and capabilities required to unlock its full potential.

Global chemicals trade is adjusting as tariffs, changing international trade relationships and regional industrial priorities alter where products are made, how they move and which markets they can access. These shifts are creating new dynamics between production capacity, asset utilisation, product availability and market access, with implications across integrated refining and petrochemical value chains. Producers are reassessing production strategies, product positioning and routes to market, with data and AI providing additional intelligence to support decision-making. How should the chemicals value chain align production, product flows and market access as the global trade map evolves?
