Abstract: | 2020 was an unprecedented year for the oil and gas industry and
a historic time for the world. The COVID-19 pandemic dampened
oil demand, prices and production, while oil-dependent countries
experienced negative impacts on their revenues and national
budgets. As countries imposed strict lockdowns, international
travel came to a grinding halt and demand for oil fell, humanity
became increasingly aware that something was changing. The
World Bank and others increasingly called on governments to
“build back better” and make our recovery from this pandemic a
green and resilient one. At the same time, we saw international
oil companies double down on their net-zero plans, outlining new
strategies to decarbonize their operations, with several moving
towards clean energy. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the
speed of the global energy transition. In the global race to reduce
emissions and build a low-carbon world, we quickened our pace. |
