OIL AND GAS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY

BY

THINKING LIKE ACTIVISTS, ACTING LIKE ENGINEERS

Thank you for joining us for the third SPE Gaia Summit, 15–16 March, in Muscat Oman where for two days we gathered 100–150 oil and gas decisions makers and future makers to  "think like activists and act like engineers". Once again we were hosted in the beautiful country of Oman and during Oman Sustainability Week. We designed a highly interactive program around key Gaia themes, Energy System Transformation—People & Technology; Measuring What Matters; Natural Capital & Regeneration; and Listening & Engaging.

It is widely accepted that humanity is not doing enough fast enough to reduce the pressure on the planet’s carrying capacity—seven of the nine planetary boundaries are in breach according to the Stockholm Resilience Center. We are not thriving inside planetary boundaries and yet we could be and we could whilst enjoying the benefits of oil and gas  – that’s our Gaia premise. We can have our hydrocarbon cake and eat it too but only if we make the extraordinary advances needed to restore balance to the planet.

Our program wasdesigned for operational and strategic decision-making roles—those on the front line of operationalizing sustainability and challenged each day by difficult to reconcile tensions, barriers, challenges,  lack of conditions to experiment, fail, try again, innovate, learn and succeed. You brought your sustainability challenges into the room and went home better equipped to progress them—more confident, with a community and with new technical and decision-making knowledge.

Thank you to the following companies sponsoring and sending delegates to the summit.
