LNG supply growth is outstripping demand growth, squeezing industry margins. Suppliers must shift strategies to improve risk management, develop new markets, and more.
Women are significantly underrepresented in the oil and gas industry. Why? And what can the industry do about it?
A pending surge in production capacity will put downward pressure on already depressed liquefied natural gas prices—and on the revenues and profits of LNG producers.
A confluence of forces is placing new, complex demands on the world’s power systems. Meeting those demands will require optimized grids.
The deal reached in the 2015 Paris climate conference could ultimately lead to higher electricity prices in Europe, creating lucrative opportunities for many producers over the long term.
Lower oil prices have failed to deliver most of the economic benefits that many analysts had expected.
The worldwide growing emphasis on reducing emissions could have a significant impact on demand for natural gas, a relatively clean-burning fossil fuel.
Can the world’s leading international oil and gas companies turn a crisis of value creation into an opportunity to reinvent business models?
Diversity in the workplace is not only a boon for social equality—it can be a competitive advantage. BCG looks at ways the energy industry can promote talented women into leadership positions.
With the unprecedented decline in industry revenues, oil and gas companies and governments must work together to frame a balanced dialogue and shape a more appropriate level of government take.
