GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company, has developed a unique thematic research ecosystem designed to take a holistic view of the top 20 themes that impact companies in the oil and gas industry.

For each theme, it offers a series of predictions, identifies winners, and recommends other reports to gain more insights on each of these 20 themes.

Its research shows that companies who invest in the right themes become success stories; those who miss the key themes ultimately fail.

Given that so many themes are disruptive, it is very easy to be blindsided by industry outsiders invading companies’ sectors.

GlobalData’s thematic research ecosystem is a single, integrated global research platform that provides an easy-to-use framework for tracking all themes across all companies in all sectors.

Energy security is expected to remain the focal point of oil and gas trade in 2024.

Geopolitical developments in the last two years have vastly impacted global oil and gas supply chains.

This is compelling energy-deficit nations to partner with newer sources to shore up supplies, which is likely to have a bearing on oil and gas strategies in 2024.

Thus, the macroeconomic themes of geopolitics and supply chains are likely to exert a considerable influence on the global energy dynamics in 2024.

The environmental, social and governance theme is also highlighted in GlobalData’s report as it is likely to be integral to decision-making in 2024, particularly on the environment and social dynamics.

Newer industry themes that support the energy transition towards zero-emission technologies, such as renewables, low-carbon hydrogen, carbon capture and storage, and electric vehicles are prominently highlighted in the company’s report.

The report also evaluates traditional oil and gas themes, namely liquefied natural gas, shale, and integrated refineries that continue to enable companies to remain competitive in the energy market.

Additionally, the research features disruptive tech themes such as AI, blockchain, cloud computing, cybersecurity, Internet of Things, robotics, and the metaverse.
