Top 20 Oil and Gas Themes - Thematic Research

Summary

In this report, we identify the top 20 themes that would impact the oil and gas industry in 2022. For each theme, we offer a series of predictions, highlight the winners, and point you to further reading.

Top 20 Oil & Gas Themes 2022 report identifies the top 20 themes that would impact the oil and gas industry in 2022. For each theme, we offer a series of predictions, highlight the winners, and point you to further reading.

Scope

We classify our top 20 themes for 2022 into three categories: industry, technology, and macroeconomic themes. The macroeconomic themes of COVID-19 and ESG continue to matter to the industry in 2022, as oil and gas companies look to navigate the energy transition and adapt to the impacts of carbon emissions, renewable energy, hydrogen, electric vehicles (EV), energy storage, liquefied natural gas (LNG), gas flaring, circular plastic economy, shale, subsea, and integrated refineries.
This report also features disruptive tech themes impacting the oil and gas industry in 2022, which will be of paramount importance as the industry looks to become more efficient. These are robotics, industrial internet, artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, cloud computing, and cybersecurity.

Reasons to Buy

Companies who invest in the right themes become success stories; those who miss the big themes end up as failures. Given that so many themes are disruptive, it is very easy to be blindsided by industry outsiders who invade your sector.
This report is a multi-theme report covering 20 themes, drawn from industry, technology, and macroeconomics. It depicts a short-term outlook for the industry from the perspective of these 20 themes.
