The 40th annual Oil & Money Conference will be held at the InterContinental London Park Lane from 8-10 October 2019 to discuss and stimulate discussion on the vital issues facing the global energy sector
The conference offers high-level networking opportunities with more than 500 international business leaders and decision-makers from more than 45 countries with a programme of speakers and panellists including chief executives and government ministers from the world’s leading oil companies and oil producers.
The theme for this year’s conference, Oil & Money at 40: Strategies for the Energy Transition, not only celebrates the milestone the event reaches in 2019 but also reflects the crossroads at which the energy industry is now at.
Advances in technology, electric vehicles and battery charging to solar and wind power, promise extensive disruption to existing patterns of energy usage and threaten the dominance of oil and gas in areas like transportation and power generation.
At the same time, however, technology breakthroughs in other fields have made the exploration and development of petroleum resources cheaper, safer and more efficient.
The history of the oil and gas industry is one of resilience and innovation. At this year’s conference, the focus will be on how oil and gas companies are responding to the challenges of the energy transition.
This year, Ben van Beurden, CEO of Royal Dutch Shell, will be presented with the Energy Intelligence Petroleum Executive of the Year Award at a gala dinner on 8 October at The Dorchester.
The year’s Petroleum Executive is selected annually by the CEOs of the 100 largest oil and gas companies and is considered one of the most prestigious accolades of the industry.
