18th European Gas Conference

STAVANGER

Norwegian Petroleum Society in cooperation with Conventor.

This year’s European Gas Conference will focus on viable and realistic business models for energy companies along the value chain in a more decarbonized European Energy Market. An Energy market in a transformative process requires agile and balanced response from upstream, midstream and downstream energy companies within a foreseeable future. This goes along with vigil policies and regulations to secure efficient energy supplies to European consumers.

In this perspective, the conference will gather together insights from the global and European energy market, from regulators, from commercial natural gas players along the value chain, from independent observers to this transformative process and finally from economic and financial analysts.

The outlook for Natural Gas in the European and global energy markets will be presented along with a global perspective for natural gas and climate change policies. The EU will broaden this market perspective with their view on incentives and regulations.

Mid- and downstream natural gas companies will present their views on the necessary transformation of business models in a more decarbonized European Energy market. What will the role of Natural Gas be in the upcoming European energy mix? Likewise, natural gas producers will elaborate on viable and realistic business models in response to these changes in the energy market. Independent observers will make their “outside-in” reflections on the different natural gas players along the value chain in this evolving transformed energy market; the frontrunners and their characteristics.

Last but not least, the conference will emphasise on the economic perspectives of this transformation towards a more decarbonized European energy market. This transformation will have substantial capital requirements – what will be the capital needed, who will finance these requirements and how will these players be shaped to be able to implement these investments?
