Annual Meeting 2020

The 2020 Annual Meeting was held against the backdrop of a global pandemic which precipitated a crash in oil markets, hampered or halted operations and caused many oil and gas investments to be delayed or shelved. In addition to these immediate effects there will also be long-term ramifications associated with the global energy transition towards a lower carbon based economy. The 2020 Annual Meeting focused on how new producers adapt their approaches in light of the shocks from the pandemic and the prospects that global energy transition will precipitate significant changes in oil and gas markets. We hosted plenary sessions with subject matter experts, who sought to explain the causes of these disruptions and tease out possible impacts and policy implications. These were followed by break-out sessions for government officials only, in which they delved deeper into implications for countries in similar circumstances.
