Energy Transition Strategy for Oil and Gas: Hydrogen, CCUS and Decarbonisation

Why Attend

Oil and gas companies are being asked to keep supplying reliable energy while cutting emissions, meeting investor and regulatory expectations and preparing for new low-carbon markets. National oil companies and international operators alike are investing in methane reduction, carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS), blue and green hydrogen and electrification of operations. Professionals who understand these options, their economics and their risks are in high demand.

This LLMI course gives a clear, business-focused view of the energy transition from the perspective of an oil and gas company. Participants examine emissions sources across upstream, midstream and downstream operations, compare decarbonisation levers, and study how hydrogen and CCUS projects are developed, financed and regulated. Carbon markets, emissions reporting and the role of gas in the transition are covered with regional examples from the Middle East, Europe and Asia.

The final day brings the material together into a decarbonisation strategy: participants build an emissions baseline and abatement plan for a sample asset and present a transition roadmap with clear priorities, investments and performance indicators.
