Presentation from 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm, Group Discussion from 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm

Oil and Gas industry is going through an enormous transition after the recent collapse of the commodity prices due to COVID 19.  Massive consolidation in the industry will inevitably lead to cost control but the industry still needs new capital to maintain or grow its businesses. During this downtime, capital market’s desire to support Oil and Gas industry have changed dramatically as well. The investment community have lost faith in industry’s capability of generating returns and with the concerns over the climate change taking center stage, there is strong demand for capital programs that can sustain and grow businesses with golden ESG standards in mind.
