In an era defined by rapid geopolitical shifts, the oil and gas sector faces a transformed landscape compared to our 2020 study. Based on a series of structured interviews with companies in the sector, this report provides insights into these geopolitical dynamics and their implications for the oil and gas sector in 2024.
The report provides original research on topics of concern to the executives we interviewed. One of these concerns is populism and polarization, which have become entrenched in the political landscape, influencing risks such as climate policy uncertainty.
Another risk concern is how the conflict in Ukraine has accelerated a division of global energy markets between East and West, appearing to indicate a shift from a globalised order to a world of blocs. Scholars from Oxford Analytica’s expert network address the question, “What will a world of blocs look like?” covering trade alliances and diplomatic relations, and how industry players can prepare for a future where geopolitical affiliations play a pivotal role in shaping business strategies.
