Report summary
Companies have long talked about the importance of gas in energy transition strategies. But their actions don’t reflect the strategic messaging. The proportion of gas in the forecast production mix in 2030 for our corporate universe fell from 41% to 38% over the last five years. The Majors delivered the biggest shift to oil during this period, with gas falling from 48% to 42% of total expected 2030 output. We think many companies will still favour oil in the near term. But leaning too far into oil could be a strategic mistake. We look at what's needed to incentivise a rebalancing to gas and why it's important.
