Information

Oil and gas companies enter 2027 with supply buffers depleted, a geopolitical premium built into every barrel, and investors asking whether the returns of the past two years survive a return to normal flows. Strategy discussions have moved on from cost and growth to resilience: where the next barrels come from, how they reach the market, and what that is worth to shareholders.

Description

Topics include:

With Middle East flows recovering only in part, the UAE outside OPEC, gas markets tight and AI moving from pilot to operating model, boards are writing a 2027 plan with more unknowns than last year's and less room to get them wrong. Capital allocation, portfolio moves and partnerships all have to be re-solved at once.

Join Rystad Energy's experts as we work through the 2027 equation: the variables every board is solving for, how the leading operators and NOCs are solving them, and what we took from ADIPEC for next year's planning.

Three questions the session answers

  • How much of the Hormuz disruption is permanent, and what does partial recovery do to 2027 balances and prices?
  • Which portfolio and M&A moves buy resilience fastest, and who is making them?
  • What does the Middle East's new map, with the UAE outside OPEC and NOCs investing abroad, mean for everyone else's strategy?
