Top executives from major oil companies made their voices heard at a prominent energy conference in Houston, Texas, staunchly opposing the idea of a swift departure from fossil fuels. They argued that society would face significant costs in attempting to replace oil and gas. Companies such as BP, Equinor, and Saudi Aramco have encountered uncertainties in transitioning to cleaner fuels, resulting in write-downs of renewable energy projects and delays in greenhouse gas reduction targets. Despite the rise of electric vehicles, solar, and wind power, oil demand is forecasted to hit a new high of 104 million barrels per day this year. The feasibility of alternative energy sources to fully supplant hydrocarbons at current demand and prices remains unproven. CEOs from leading oil companies like Shell, Exxon Mobil, and Petrobras echoed these sentiments, stressing the importance of prudence and continued investment in conventional oil and gas. The debate surrounding the cost of the energy transition has grown increasingly divisive, with pragmatic voices advocating for a realistic pace of change.

Considering the investment wisdom of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, which holds significant stakes in Chevron Corp. (CVX) and Occidental Petroleum Corp. (OXY), it's clear that the oil and gas industry still holds appeal for investors despite ESG concerns. With projections indicating continued demand for fossil fuels alongside renewable energy growth, here are seven top oil and gas stocks worth considering: https://lnkd.in/gTvnPiig As the energy landscape continues to evolve, these stocks present compelling options for investors seeking dividend yields and potential growth in the dynamic energy sector.💡 #Investing #OilandGas #RenewableEnergy #ESGInvesting

Gaining employee confidence and belief in company ambition alterations can be really difficult. We've heard of employees struggling with even the smallest of changes like... changing the coffee brand in the kitchen. However, clean energy initiatives are a more personal matter to some, especially where potential job cuts are concerned. According to Bloomberg, Shell have achieved returns of 15% including dividends, almost tripling major competitor ExxonMobil at 6%. Will the new oil and gas investment strategy ruffle feathers enough for employees dedicated to the renewables markets to jump ship? #energymarkets #energytrading #energytrader #renewables #oilvsrenewables #crudeoil #oiltrading #oilmarketa #gastrading #gasmarkets #riskmanagement #employeeretention #netzero #cleanenergy #shell #majorenergybrands #capitalmarkets

The competition between these visions will shape the future of the energy industry.

Chevron's bold $53bn acquisition of Hess Corporation and ExxonMobil's $59.5bn offer for Pioneer Natural Resources Company signals a strong bet on fossil fuels amidst competing visions for the energy future. While some anticipate peak demand, Chevron and ExxonMobil are banking on continued oil and gas growth. The International Energy Agency (IEA)'s latest report offers a different perspective, projecting peak fossil fuel demand by 2030, with flat oil and gas demand until 2050. EVs, heat pumps, and solar power are expected to lead the charge in the energy transition.

Our popular Oil & Gas Supermajors report looks at how bp, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Eni, ExxonMobil, Shell, and TotalEnergies are handling the #energytransition. Key messages from this free-to-download report include: * The balance of competitive advantage for energy producers is shifting from #hydrocarbon resource access to ownership of the underlying technologies that are enabling the energy transition. * TotalEnergies' out-performing pace of innovation sets it apart from its supermajor peers. Its sustainable energy innovation areas of focus are #batteries and #photovoltaics. * There is a relatively low level of patenting from supermajors compared to leaders in other industries and compared to the big oilfield service providers. This points to a continued strategy of reliance on third-party innovation that looks set to continue with the development of renewable low-carbon energy resources.
