ESG in the Lower 48
Report summary
We’re still in the early days of ESG adoption in the Lower 48, but the need to define and adhere to best practices is accelerating at a fever pitch. We view ESG as a movement not a fad. It’s here to stay. We expect the Majors and largest Independents to lead the way, setting the standard for how operations – particularly in the Permian – change. Investors will take note and the shale industry will self-regulate from within. Many upstream tight oil players are fighting to remain investable and ESG compliance is a big piece of that puzzle.
