As Technical Programme Chairman for ADIPEC 2020, 

I would like to personally thank all the authors for your 

abstract submissions for the ADIPEC 2020 Virtual Technical 

Conference in what has been an unprecedented year. 

Despite the global challenges of COVID-19, I am pleased 

that we will still be able to stage ADIPEC on 9-12 

November, albeit virtually in 2020. 

The ADIPEC 2020 Virtual Technical Conference is the 

single largest technical knowledge platform for oil and gas 

engineers worldwide, and provides access to the latest 

industry knowledge, technical expertise, applications, 

products, solutions and services. 

You will be joining more than 2,000 conference delegates 

to live and on-demand experience over 115 technical 

conference sessions that focus on key aspects of oil and 

gas in the fourth industrial age. 

I look forward to a highly successful ADIPEC 2020 Virtual 

Conference.

STRATEGIC CONFERENCE 


DAY 1 

MONDAY 9 NOVEMBER 2020 

DAY 2 

TUESDAY 10 NOVEMBER 2020 

ADIPEC’s Virtual Strategic Conference will focus on how the energy sector is responding and adapting to the 

COVID-19 pandemic against a backdrop of rapidly increasing pressure to become more sustainable. ADIPEC 

will focus on five pillars, each providing a critical element of insight into understanding the challenges and task 

facing energy sector leaders over the coming months and years:

Developing Capabilities, Nurturing Talent and 

Investing in the Workforce of the Future in 

Downstream (DCNTIWFD) 

Future energy 

supply and demand: 

new assumptions and 

perspectives on 

future trajectories 

The oil and gas industry was paralysed by a combination of a sharp 

downturn in energy demand – brought on by COVID related lockdowns and 

the associated deep global economic recession, and oversupply. As the 

energy sector seeks to recover, it faces huge uncertainties. The eventual 

outcome of which, will shape global balances and investment strategies 

over the course of the next decade: 

• Will oil demand recover to its pre-crisis path? 

• How much US shale production will remain economic under the emerging 

supply-demand outlook? 

• How has the crisis changed the industry’s value-proposition and 

business model? 

• What are the key lessons learned from the 2020 crisis?

Building future 

business resilience 

through technology, 

innovation and 

partnerships 

Shocks – both short-term in the form of COVID, and long-term in the form of 

the energy transition – are challenging the industry’s profitability and its ability 

to create sustained value for investors and governments. New approaches 

are required for a sector where “cheaper, cleaner, more efficient” will become 

the standard for business resilience and operational success: 

• What are the key areas of innovation and technology that offer most 

opportunity for an energy sector in transition? 

• What options are available to enhance stakeholder value in the long-term? 

• How will partnerships be impacted as the industry adapts to a new normal? 

• What can the industry learn from the experience of other sectors?

STRATEGIC CONFERENCE 


VIRTUAL STRATEGIC 

CONFERENCE PROGRAMME 

OVERVIEW 


The geopolitics 

of energy 

The COVID-19 pandemic has had profound implications for energy supply 

and demand. Beyond energy it has also compounded the megatrend of 

deglobalisation, and has changed the international operating systems. 

Trends that had been evident for a number of years have been accelerated, 

with the emergence of new energy leaders, new patterns of trade, and new 

national security concerns. These factors will shape the energy sector in 

the coming years, determining the stability of energy trade and prices: 

• Has the COVID-19 pandemic altered the balance of power in the global 

energy sector? 

• How has government policy impacted the new global energy 

architecture? 

• What will the future architecture of market management look like? 

• What are the lessons learned for the main producers and consumers of 

oil and gas? 

DAY 1 DAY 2

14:00 - 15:30 PM - GST

their business operations?

Ministerial Keynote Address 


ESG and Oil&Gas in a 

post-pandemic world 

Workforce of the 

future: positioning for 

success in a time of 

change 

Climate and sustainability concerns pose a challenge to energy industry 

norms. Business as usual is no longer an option in a sector that is front 

and centre of the energy transition. If the public and private sectors are to 

maintain the social license to operate, business practices must adapt, and 

long-term operations must change: 

• How has the COVID-19 pandemic altered the climate change agenda? 

• What are the different pathways available to companies and countries as 

the energy transition unfolds? 

• In a world that still relies on hydrocarbons, how are governments, 

companies and consumers collaborating to achieve low-carbon economy 

targets? 

Demographics, changing views of the energy industry, climate concerns and 

gender imbalance are all impacting the sector’s workforce and the availability 

of talent around the world. In the western hemisphere, in particular, attracting 

and retaining the best and the brightest is becoming an increasing challenge. 

Industry leaders will require new, innovative strategies to maintain and ensure 

a long-term supply of talent in the sector. 

• How can companies protect their employees in the wake of cost cutting? 

• What skills upgrades will be required as companies focus on innovation 

and automation? 

• Where is the talent pool of tomorrow, and how does the industry market 

itself to younger people? 

• How can the industry further embrace diversity to broaden its talent pool 

and attract new employees? 

16:30 - 16:45 PM - GST
