Official forecasts suggest that oil and gas will remain a vital part of the UK’s energy mix as we move towards Net Zero. The last 12 months the super major oil and gas companies have announced their Net Zero strategy and are they now transiting into a sustainable energy company. Energy transition requires industry to make real progress in reducing its carbon footprint through emission reductions initiatives, including electrification, and energy efficiency measures.

Agenda

“ The Oil & Gas Authority have announced that “managing declining North Sea production to maximise value, minimising greenhouse gas emissions and reducing reliance on hydrocarbon imports are all essential.” OGA’s UKCS energy integration project, has the potential to make a significant contribution to achieving the UK’s 2050 Net Zero targets through Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS), hydrogen, Offshore renewable's wind, wave and tidal ”

At The Future of the North Sea: Energy Transition to Net Zero you will be joined by 200+ oil and gas operators government officials, regulators, key industry stake holders, leading academia and service companies all working to one goal to ensure the UK Oil & Gas Sector achieves its Net Zero targets. 

Sessions One and Two

The Oil & Gas Authority has recently released its roadmap to Net Zero in May 2020, with a core aim to help industry and government achieve the target of Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. With COVID 19 having such an impact on the Oil & Gas Sector and climate change at the forefront of government and industries mind plus the countries need for economic growth, this is now the time for industry and government to work together to provide an economical sustainable energy source. There is a need to ensure that Net Zero targets are met in order to position the UK as a world leader in energy transition.

Schedule:

  • 9:25 Chair Opening address

Over the last 12 months we have seen the “Super Majors” transition from an Oil & Gas company to an Energy company and set their own Net Zero targets. In this session we will hear from the biggest producers in the UKCS on their Net Zero Road Map and the challenges they face in this new energy transition era. The session will explore the different challenges that operators need to address to move to a low carbon future and outlay the blueprint of how they plan to achieve Net Zero.

Sessions Three and Four

With decommissioning due to cost government & industry around £47bn by 2050, carbon capture storage has a key role to play to reduce the costs of decommissioning while reducing the oil and gas sectors carbon emission. This session will review the current CCS projects in the North Sea and how the current oil and gas infrastructure will play a key part in developing a sustainable CCS industry in the UK.
