Achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 will require significant changes to the way people live, work, move, and play. Industrial, commercial, and residential activity must increasingly be powered by low-carbon energy. Alongside efforts to avoid and reduce emissions through energy efficiency measures, increased electrification and fuel switching, wide-spread deployment of carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCS) will be essential. As CCUS technology can capture and store carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from power plants, industrial processes, and other sources, it offers a potential solution to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and meet climate targets. This session will provide an overview of the different capture technologies available, from commercially demonstrated technologies to those nearing the deployment. Additionally, the potential storage reservoirs and the opportunities of CO2 utilisation will be covered. The session will also discuss the challenges and new innovations in the CCUS domain

Digitalisation and artificial intelligence (AI) are reshaping the oil and gas industry by enhancing data-driven decision-making, operational efficiency, and sustainability. This session delves into the integrated role of digital technologies alongside AI applications in  production, and reservoir management processes. By harnessing vast data streams, digitalisation empowers real-time insights and remote asset management, while AI augments these capabilities through predictive maintenance, subsurface modelling, and automated control. Together, these technologies facilitate more adaptive, responsive operations and support energy transition goals by minimising environmental impact. The session will address implementation challenges and provide best practices for integrating digital and AI solutions to remain agile and competitive in a rapidly evolving industry.

Energy efficiency in oil and gas operations is vital for reducing environmental impact, lowering operational costs, and complying with regulatory standards. By adopting energy-efficient technologies and optimising processes viz. enhancing equipment performance, recovering waste heat, using digital monitoring etc., companies can effectively reduce energy use and significantly cut greenhouse gas emissions. These strategies not only drive down operational expenses but also supports global sustainability goals. Additionally, integrating renewable sources like solar or wind to power certain on-site activities further bolsters efficiency efforts. Therefore, enhancing energy efficiency in oil and gas development and operations is a crucial move toward a more sustainable and cost-effective energy industry.
