Episode description

Let’s Talk Energy and take a deep dive into the epicenter of the global energy industry, the Middle East, ahead of the massive ADIPEC energy conference in Abu Dhabi. Energy strategies in the region have been rapidly evolving over the past five years. When much of the Western world was limiting investment into new volumes of oil and gas, Middle Eastern countries were expanding their production, despite lower near-term prices. Yet, the next phase of oil and gas development in the region is poised to look very different than the giant onshore fields that have fed global markets for decades. At the same time, countries in the Middle East are rapidly scaling renewable power and harnessing artificial intelligence to make their energy production cleaner and more efficient. Where does the additional oil from the Middle East that will be needed by global markets come from? How could countries leverage rising gas production domestically and abroad? What does a modern energy mix in the region look like? What do these shifts mean for the companies working there, OPEC+ production policy and global markets?
