As the energy transition gains momentum, the competition between countries for oil & gas capital is increasing. Regions like the Guyana Basin with world-class resource are at an advantage, but governments must carefully consider the terms they are offering. Multiple factors impact company decision-making on where to invest, like scale of resource, bonuses, work programs and local content requirements. Carbon emissions are also increasingly important, and something that can be leveraged to attract investment – the emissions profile associated with new projects in top-class basins aligns well with many corporate strategies. In this webinar our expert panelists discuss these factors and more.
