Deepwater: Trends, Players, and Economics

Thursday, 7 May
Room 302
Keynote Speaker Series
Global oil and gas supply is entering a period of tight project availability after years of underinvestment. With global exploration at historic lows, deepwater has emerged as one of the few areas capable of delivering large, long-life volumes at scale. This keynote will examine why deepwater is critical to future oil supply, where activity is concentrating, particularly along the Atlantic Margin, and how project economics, execution timelines, and carbon intensity will shape which developments move forward.
