As the oil and gas industry presses for transition to meet our global climate challenge, key players are gaining momentum in diversifying their portfolio from oil and gas centric to multiple energy sources. Gas as an energy of choice to fuel the transition must also offer competitive and cleaner solutions. Hence, while we strive towards development of sustainable new energy, innovative technologies to decarbonise new greenfields and enhance optimisation of brownfields to reduce GHG emissions must continue at pace. For more than 100 years, geosciences (geology, geophysics and earth sciences) have been the core skills propelling fossil fuel to reach its current position as a key global commodity (starting in 1901, with the Spindeltop discovery in Texas, kicking off a new oil economy). As the oil and gas industry rethinks and drives the future global energy mix, what, where and how could our geoscientists positively impact this momentous period?

This conference invites all geoscience and geoscience-related professionals, practitioners, researchers, academicians and students from the oil and gas and energy-related industry, to bring forward your best ideas, innovation, new methods, and best practices to discuss, debate and network among like-minded geoscientists to promote a renewed understanding of the importance of geosciences and earth sciences in the future of energy.

In addition, the conference will include keynote speakers and panel discussions where they will address and may help to further our understanding on topics such as energy policies, regulations, pricing mechanisms, infrastructure and the future of new molecules and electrons in the region. Other initiative targeting Young Professionals and students will also be part of this 2-day conference.
