Diversification Versus Discipline: Value Creation in Oil and Gas 2021
International O&G companies are preparing for the future by expanding into low-carbon markets or doubling down on efficiency in hydrocarbon production.
The Center for Energy Impact (CEI) aims to engage a changing industry in new and different ways by providing challenging ideas to drive performance. We shape thinking about the future availability, economics, and sustainability of the world's energy sources—and the implications for energy companies and their portfolios.
Our team is composed of senior thought leaders selected for their proven ability to advance thinking on topics that are critical for the energy industry. Members of CEI’s team work with BCG’s broader Energy practice to provide senior expertise and targeted, actionable insights to the firm’s wide range of clients around the world. And together with our advisory board of industry leaders—chaired by Andrew Gould, the former CEO of Schlumberger and the chairman of BG Group; and James Hackett, the former CEO of Anadarko Petroleum—CEI provides a unique platform for industry dialogue.
Through forward-looking analysis and insight, CEI advises and challenges industry leadership and policymakers on the crucial issues affecting the industry and their businesses, identifying both emerging trends and potential solutions.
International O&G companies are preparing for the future by expanding into low-carbon markets or doubling down on efficiency in hydrocarbon production.
State-owned oil and gas companies must adapt meaningfully to ongoing transitions toward the use of low-carbon sources of energy. They will need to reduce emissions and lower costs to compete in the years ahead.
President Joe Biden has proposed the most ambitious climate policy in American history. How should companies get ready for the changes that are coming?
Despite maintaining a positive outlook on future demand, investors want the O&G industry to meet emissions reduction targets and seek green portfolio alternatives.
By improving the profitability of their upstream businesses, companies will have more cash for a wide range of value creation levers.
By reducing abatement costs, small networks of emitters could help establish carbon capture as a mainstream technology in the effort to mitigate global warming.
Governments have an unparalleled opportunity to use stimulus programs to drive climate change progress. But their approach must reflect the specifics of their economy and workforce.
An analysis of pandemic stimulus measures finds that Europe is continuing its steady shift toward green energy while major Asian countries are sharply accelerating their transition.
The US gas market is seeing a raft of bullish price forecasts—but appearances can be deceiving.
In light of the pandemic and the supply shock in oil markets, gas companies must strengthen their positions and plan ahead.
On top of the demand shock in the oil market, sparked by COVID-19, is a supply shock that could flood the market. Even robust oil companies will face threats to their business.
