As the oil and gas sector makes the transition into clean energy, environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) has become all the more important in the industry. Today, companies are increasingly looking for new ways to promote ESG initiatives, as a growing number of customers and investors are urging organisations to take ESG issues more seriously. While the pressure is rising for oil and gas companies, the increased emphasis on ESG presents several opportunities for the sector. Below, we detail how ESG is re-shaping the energy industry and why it’s time for companies to address environmental concerns and adapt to this new paradigm.
The rise of ESG
Today, it’s become increasingly clear that ESG ratings are an important driver for stakeholders and investors in the energy sector, as well as the general public. ESG investing was once seen as a niche, but it’s become a crucial area for companies in every sector, particularly since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. The transition to a low carbon economy means businesses in the energy sector must ensure they’re aligned with the new energy landscape. ESG is no longer a box-ticking exercise, but fundamental for maintaining and attracting the support of stakeholders. It’s now more important than ever before that ESG is used as a workforce strategy. Energy companies that recognise the value of ESG will be able to attract and recruit the best talent, as well as meeting the challenging demands of the market.
Seeking sustainability
It’s widely understood that there’s an environmental threat in the oil and gas sector. Many companies in the industry have been taking steps to become compliant with ESG and curb the environmental impact. For example, according to reports, the British oil major BP has made plans to buy $220 million worth of solar projects to help push for a low-carbon future. And total investments over the past five years in renewables, hydrogen and digital technologies has been almost $60 billion. Evidently, oil and gas companies are beginning to view environmental conditions as a priority for improving operations and increasing value across their organisations. While most oil and gas companies will likely still invest in traditional production, clean energy is being taken more seriously by leaders in the industry.
Creating an ESG strategy
One of the biggest challenges for energy companies is implementing a successful ESG strategy. When businesses take a strategic approach to ESG that is linked to the goals and values of the company, leaders are more likely to see results. With ESG encompassing social and governance initiatives as well as the environment, it’s imperative that oil and gas companies assess the needs of their organisation and its employees. Building an ESG strategy in an oil and gas company is critical for satisfying a range of different stakeholders. ESG programs are also key for spurring innovation in the energy sector and reducing risks.
With a strong ESG framework, businesses can set action plans and measure performance indicators, which could include energy diversification, carbon footprint reduction and natural resource sustainability. The demand for ESG programs in the energy sector is now greater than ever. For oil and gas companies, embracing ESG shows that they care about employee welfare. Focusing on ESG represents social responsibility and a way for energy companies to gain trust, and future-proof their businesses for the new world of work.

It’s becoming increasingly evident that digital technology is transforming the oil and gas sector. The industry is being driven by real-time data, cloud computing and the Internet of Things, blending the physical and digital worlds. As a result, the concept of the ‘digital oilfield’ has come into focus. A digital oilfield is an environment where an oil and gas business’ data is automated to increase the speed of workflows and boost performance.
Combining process management with digital technologies, digital oilfields have been designed to overhaul oil and gas systems, and enable full optimisation throughout the supply chain. Research by Global News Wire has shown that the digital oilfield market could grow to $28.61 billion by 2027. There’s no doubt a digital revolution is occurring and it’s set to challenge the conventional model of operations in the oil and gas sector.
The role of digital oilfieldsThe adoption of digital oilfields in the oil and gas sector has been growing due to automation, data analytics and increased connectivity. It’s widely understood that the oil and gas sector has been slow to adapt to new technologies compared to other sectors, but over the past decade, oilfield technology has progressed rapidly, paving the way for a new era for the industry. Oil company Shell was an early adopter of digital oilfields technologies. Digital oilfields have a range of benefits for the oil and gas sector, including using data to track the efficiency of equipment and mapping out the future of production.
Having a digital oilfield could also help oil and gas businesses transition into greener practices. For example, artificial intelligence and predictive analytics can help identify oil spills after or even before they occur, which should help companies minimise damage. By investing in digital oilfield technologies, oil and gas operators can automate maintenance and manage equipment more efficiently while continuing to drive innovation. Digital oilfields have the potential to redefine oil and gas through the creation of a secure, interconnected network. This could pave the way for higher fuel performance and deliver increased value for oil and gas providers.
Creating a digital-first oil and gas sectorIf oil and gas companies want to remain relevant and competitive in the future, they need to embrace digitalisation. Research by Energy Voice has found that the industry is still grappling with the challenges of COVID-19, low oil prices and the energy transition. Technology and digital oilfields are among the key tools that can help the industry and make sure it’s still profitable in the future. So, how can companies create a sustainable digital environment for their oilfields? Firstly, companies need to take advantage of the range of the IoT management platforms that are available to them. Using such specialised platforms, that connect different disciplines across a business, for example production and asset management, is an excellent way for oil and gas companies to automate the flow of data. .
Creating a truly digital oilfield will drive better insights for oil and gas, and improve the overall quality of the supply chain. Above all, cloud technology and data will provide oil and gas companies an alternative solution to traditional processes and infrastructure. Digital oilfields serve as a remote link across an entire company, making information and data immediately available. The role of technology in oil and gas has become all the more essential and digital oilfields are likely to continue to have a great impact on the sector.

The renewable energy market has experienced unprecedented growth in recent years and it’s set to have a big future, this is largely thanks to the rise of digital technology. According to a report by The International Energy Agency (IEA), renewable energy capacity will grow up to 50% by 2024 – and this growth is mainly being fuelled by solar, wind and hydropower projects. Research has found that renewable energy is expected to take up around 30 per cent of the world’s total energy by 2024. So, with renewable energy expected to power the earth, let’s take a look at the impact technology is having on the market, as well as the most important technological trends in the sector right now.
The rise of Artificial Intelligence
The arrival of artificial intelligence in the renewable energy markets has paved the way for a range of opportunities for leading companies to grow and evolve their processes, to ensure they’re more sustainable than ever before. There’s no doubt that artificial intelligence will have a huge impact on the future of renewables. With the help of AI software, energy storage in facilities, such as office buildings and homes can hold excess energy when demand is low. AI technology can improve renewable energy storage and optimise its use. Therefore, AI has the potential to re-shape the energy sector from an infrastructure-based system to one centred on automated AI technology. There’s a wide range of technologies that use renewable energy spheres, such as energy forecasting and energy accessibility. For example, Google DeepMind – introduced in 2014 – is an AI application that works to improve energy usage and reduce emissions. AI applications can support the renewable energy sector when it comes to integration and help to accelerate the use of clean energy sources worldwide.
Blockchain
As the world’s most popular platform to buy bitcoin, the technology is providing a new level of sophistication to energy suppliers and increasing efficiency as a result. There’s an array of companies that are utilising blockchain for renewable energy. For example, We Power uses a blockchain platform, allowing customers to monitor renewable energy prices, as well as help clean energy producers enter the market. The company explained in a white paper that they believe blockchain and renewable energy has the potential to revolutionise the energy market. Blockchain makes the supply of green energy much more efficient and transparent, as all transactions are traceable and secure. Therefore, renewable energy certification can be delivered much faster, allowing all parties to audit the results. Blockchain, then, is changing the way companies collaborate, as well as how energy is produced and consumed, creating a much more sustainable energy system.
Big Data
Big data technologies have made a considerable impact on a wide range of industries. In the energy sector, however, oil-field production companies can use big data to streamline operations and manage the day-to-day operations of solar plants more efficiently. With the use of data, companies can dictate how many solar panels and wind turbines to produce and build a better picture of how power is used and when it’s most needed. Big data has become essential because it means energy providers can identify how to store and distribute energy generated from solar panels. Ultimately, big data is changing the models of renewable energy and power generation, while providing energy companies with an in-depth understanding of customer behaviour. As a rapidly evolving market, renewable energy relies on the power of technology to sustain its developments.

The emergence of industry 4.0, also known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution, has been having a huge impact throughout the oil and gas supply chain. Across all industries, digital technology has been revolutionising the entire value chain and changing best practices. In the oil and gas sector, advances in seismic imaging and data analysis is helping to streamline manufacturing and production. With the rise of industry 4.0, technology continues to drive transformation, from downstream to upstream and in other business areas including research and development, and finance. Right now, technology is leading the way in the oil and gas sector so read on for further insights on exactly how Industry 4.0 is re-shaping the oil and gas supply chain.
Digitalisation of the oil and gas industry
Industry 4.0 has accelerated the rise of smart technology, generating new business areas and re-shaping the traditional supply chain. Increased data integration, analytics and information sharing are allowing companies to provide upstream exploration teams with much more meaningful insights, as well as the ability to adjust production levels in real-time, all of which is based on stored data. With digitisation, there’s huge potential for off-field services and businesses to create a much more efficient and effective supply chain. Many oil and gas companies are already using 4D BIM models that map data to analyse changes in oil and gas levels, which can help identify the quality of resources and their lifespan more accurately.
Changes to production
One of the main benefits of the implementation of industry 4.0 in the oil and gas industry is how it’s paving the way for a seamless production chain. There’s now a wide range of Industry 4.0-era production solutions that are creating cross-organisational collaborations and digital efficiency in the supply chain. For example, one of the most notable uses of industry 4.0 technology in recent years is the digital twin – a virtual representation of a physical object. Digital twin technology allows oil and gas professionals to simulate design assets in real-time, providing powerful insights that maximise productivity while reducing the need to mobilise offshore and inspect the model. BP is one oil and gas company that uses a digital twin system, known as APEX, which creates digital copies of all production processes, optimising process considerably.
An integrated supply chain
There’s no doubt industry 4.0 can play a pivotal role in helping oil and gas companies tackle complex challenges along the supply chain. Technologies such as big data will have a positive impact on midstream activities, which includes storage and transportation. For example, with the use of digital technology, oil and gas companies can equip railcars with detectors and sensors to detect any leaks, and monitor any problems in the pipeline’s infrastructure. These new technologies and processes are creating a much more integrated supply chain, with a closer working relationship between each link in the chain. However, there’s much work still to be done to achieve a completely streamlined and efficient supply chain. Technology company Infosys argues in a published white paper that, “Industry 4.0 must be viewed as an enterprise-wide initiative that meets present and future organisational goals.” Oil and gas companies, then, must ensure they have a strategy in place that implements new technologies to achieve the best results. Industry 4.0 is still very much in its infancy, but as long as companies collaborate in the right way, the supply chain will continue to improve and transform.

In recent years, the transition to a low carbon future has shifted from being a topic of debate to a matter of urgency for many companies in the oil and gas sector. There’s an array of European-based fossil fuel companies that have proactively been pushing toward green energy, such as Dutch Shell, BP, Equinor and Total. While it’s likely to be a while before we transition from fossil fuels completely, we have seen more investment in green energy, for example in the form of Vestas Wind Systems – which is the world’s top supplier of wind energy. The oil and gas market is highly volatile, so it makes sense that businesses focus on and embrace renewables. But what can oil and gas companies do to prepare for this transition?
The changing energy landscape
According to We Forum, renewables could power the world by 2050, with various studies showing how different countries can work together to create sustainable energy solutions. Over the years, the standard of living has increased dramatically, which means this has affected the demand for global energy. Oil and gas prices have been in decline since 2014, which was accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. This further fuels the argument about the importance of green energy and why companies need to prioritise renewables. Also, renewable energy has become much cheaper than fossil fuels. The cost of solar power projects has fallen by 82% since 2010. Renewable energy projects were once notorious for their high costs, but they’re now below traditional fuels – which demonstrates how much the energy landscape has shifted. Now’s the time for oil and gas companies to adapt to a less carbon-intensive strategy. But how?
Paving the way for the renewable revolution
Many oil and gas companies are moving forward with the renewable energy transformation and there’s a range of different projects on the horizon. For example, BP partnered with Danish energy firm Orsted to launch the Green Hydrogen project, which is expected to be operational in 2024. Comprising of a 50 MW electrolyser system installed in North-West Germany and powered by an Orsted North Sea offshore wind farm, it will be able to produce around 9,000 tons of green hydrogen per year. This project is BP’s first full-scale hydrogen venture and the company could help massively with reducing emissions.
Green hydrogen is created using renewable energy, which is made through electrolysis. Mitsubishi Power and fuel storage company Magnum Development has been working on the Advanced Clean Energy Storage (ACES) project, which is scheduled to be operational by 2025, and it aims to build a storage facility for 1,000 megawatts of clean power. Having large-scale storage space for green energy will help curb the demand and increase the transition to renewables. Investing further into creating a pathway for renewable energy is a great way for oil and gas companies to embrace a green transition.
Protecting the environment
Oil and gas companies will always be needed, but the future lies in renewables. However, it’s not enough for companies to invest in green energy to protect the environment. There needs to be a mindset shift internally. One of the ways oil and gas companies can do this is by redefining their corporate strategy to align more effectively with climate change. For example, ensuring that best practices are applied for mining and drilling projects will help reduce water and environmental impact from production. Businesses also need to build strategies that minimise carbon use, as well as developing a talent attraction framework that showcases oil and gas as a ‘green sector’, in order to inspire the younger generation of workers to join the industry. The oil and gas sector is under increasing pressure to become more sustainable, but with the right investment and strategies, companies in the industry can embrace a green transition.
