Global upstream: 5 things to look for in 2023

Report summary

Upstream oil and gas got its mojo back in 2022, but what does 2023 hold for the sector? Serious questions will be asked about the sector’s future. At all levels, the upstream industry needs to capture and broaden the energy narrative. Decarbonising and developing resources responsibly needs to be the top priority. Some will find a renewed sense of purpose to provide secure and affordable energy, aided by healthy balance sheets. Others remain unprepared for the fiscal, regulatory and social challenges that lay ahead. Our key themes for 2023 include windfalls and incentives; restrained investment growth; cost inflation; execution risk; decarbonisation; and the emergence of gas business models.
