The North Sea energy transition: aiming to thrive
This report is currently unavailable
Report summary
The recent oil price collapse and subsequent near-term uncertainty, will once again, test companies' resolve. Sustained low oil prices would slash upstream cash flows, leading to delays and severe cost cutting. All of this against the backdrop long-term uncertainty and huge challenges relating to energy transition. But, prior to the prices slump at least, North Sea governments and industry are grasping the opportunity to evolve and adapt. The North Sea has become a leader on the energy transition in the upstream space, pioneering many of the latest technologies.
