Conference Opening: Geopolitical dialogue
PanelFinance/Trading/Risk ManagementGeopolitics/Energy Policy/Economics
Geopolitical hot spots around the world could threaten regional and even global stability, with potentially far-reaching consequences for energy markets. How are US concerns over Russian engagement in US elections affecting American international diplomacy? Given tensions across Turkey, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Yemen—and links to the United States and Russia—is there any scenario for stability in the Middle East? How do tensions among great powers exacerbate the risk of crises unraveling?

Hydrogen as a Clean Energy Fuel
The extent of the impact of environmental policies on energy businesses remains uncertain; the reach and depth of decarbonization is subject to continued political debate. However, prudent strategic planning for business must incorporate the possibility of economy-wide deep decarbonization policies. These policies could become a risk to a company’s current operations and the value of its assets—or can offer an opportunity for new, profitable areas of activity. The implementation of economy-wide decarbonization will require innovation that goes beyond established practices that promote renewable electricity, energy efficiency, and biofuels. Above all, a zero-carbon energy path will have to replicate the energy density, the ease of transport and storage, and flexibility in use that hydrocarbons deliver today. Hydrogen can deliver precisely this functionality.

Energy: What do investors really want?
PanelFinance/Trading/Risk Management
With the advent of the shale era and the price volatility of the past few years, investors appear to be losing faith in an industry facing short- and long-term challenges. The challenge of the industry, requiring a high level of investments, appears to be on a collision course with investors looking for stronger capital discipline and higher shareholders return. This panel of shareholders will discuss the challenges ahead in investing in oil and gas.

Digital Transformation: Creating value
PanelTechnology/Innovation
The oil and gas industry has embraced digitalization over the past few years as a means to effectively manage costs and raise efficiencies in a challenging oil price environment. As industry players seek the next wave of value they’re often finding that the best opportunities lie at the interfaces – leveraging digital capabilities to integrate across the oil & gas value chain and lifecycle, as well as across functional and organizational boundaries. Successfully navigating such pursuits will not only transform how companies develop and operate their oil and gas resources, but also how they engage their customers and business partners. This session will explore where value has been achieved thus far, where it will be created in the future, and what it will take to truly maximize returns.

Innovative Pathways to Affordable Hydrogen Production
PanelGasTechnology/Innovation
Significant progress is being made in reducing the cost of hydrogen. But it still is not economically competitive, in both money and energy terms, to produce, store, and convert hydrogen back to useful energy. Many innovative approaches are being tested; most are not at scale. What are the most promising technologies and what are the roadblocks to scale hydrogen production?

Downstream: Competing through the cycles
PanelOil
The downstream business of refining crude oil and marketing products to end-users has long been a valuable, if occasionally out of fashion, part of the oil company portfolio. Today, the downstream business is attractive to a range of different types of owners. These companies seek out downstream profits from processing new low-cost crude oils, capturing product growth in emerging markets, and integrating further into petrochemical. Still, there is the ever-present concern that increasingly stringent policies aimed at decarbonization and local air quality will affect the downstream pillar of the oil business.

Game-changing Technologies for Oil & Gas
PanelOilGasTechnology/Innovation
The oil and gas industry is witnessing a new era of progress in digital and related technologies that are transforming operational performance and efficiency and creating renewed opportunity to secure sustainable growth. The industry has a history of developing technical and operational innovations that have forged game-changing growth into new segments such as deep water and shale. This panel will explore the prospects for the next game-changers and what they might look like. Which areas of technological progress offer the most promise to become game-changers for the industry? What form of impact might a game-changer have, for example, in unlocking resources, reducing costs, or changing the nature of work? Would we know a game-changer if we saw one? Could a series of incremental gains over time also constitute a game-changer? Is the industry structured to unlock innovations? Which types of players and partnerships would hold the key?

Plastics has been one of the world’s great growth stories. Through more than 50 years of uninterrupted growth, plastics are now one of the foundations of modern life. Everyday items – from eyeglasses and bike helmets and cellphones to shoes – are made more durable and lighter thanks to plastics. The growing demand for plastics, however, has created an unexpected and serious waste problem that now threatens that growth. As much as 8 million metric tons of plastics waste ends up in the oceans every year. As a result, consumers and governments are raising the bar on expectations on plastics, often supporting bans and de-selection initiatives that impact its potential growth. What are the real risks and opportunities the industry faces?

European Gas Transit: A tangled knot
PanelGas
Record flows of pipeline natural gas from Russia to Europe have occurred in 2018. Meanwhile the European Union presses on with completion of the Single Energy Market. The future will see new pipelines come into operation and new commercial terms for some core transit routes. All parties—sellers, importers, and transit routes—will want to establish the new basis for reliable and secure flows of natural gas to continue.
