Petroleum will continue to be the major source of the world’s energy well into the 21st century. Moreover, petroleum resources are plentiful despite some speculation to the contrary. The central issues moving forward relate to deliverability rather than availability. This distinguished panel of experts from OPEC, major research institutions, and national and international oil companies will address the realities ahead for the petroleum industry by discussing resources, investments and supplies, opportunities and potential constraints facing the industry, the importance of the downstream in supporting market stability, the role of producer-consumer dialogue, and how the petroleum industry could deal with new environmental realities.

Most of the remaining proved oil reserves are with the national oil companies (NOCs), leading our industry to a two-fold problem for the next decade.
First, the growing imbalance of the reserves between the NOCs and the international oil companies (IOCs) may become a growing challenge. And second, the pressure to produce more will increase because the time when the demand for fossil fuels will exceed supply is coming soon.
Host countries and NOCs have been collaborating with IOCs and service companies to produce their reserves for decades. But the present situation may dictate that this collaboration must evolve, and possibly drastically. In other words, our present industry model may need to change.
This General Session will give the podium to eminent leaders of our industry to share their vision on how they see the adaptation to this changing situation.
Various subjects will be open for discussion, including production increase by NOCs, technical/management expertise, manpower, funding, etc. Are NOCs more open to technical innovations? Will NOCs’ reserves open to IOCs? Are we close to a mutation of the role of the service industry in this context?
