Energy Security:The Role of Oil and Gas

Energy security remains a critical global concern as nations navigate the complexities of meeting their energy demands while balancing economic growth, environmental sustainability, and geopolitical stability. The oil and gas industry plays an indispensable role in ensuring energy security, providing a reliable and accessible energy supply for industrial, commercial, and residential sectors across the world. Energy security refers to the ability of nations to ensure a continuous and reliable supply of energy, protect energy infrastructure, and mitigate the risks of energy price volatility and supply disruptions. Despite the increasing integration of renewable energy sources, oil and gas remain essential for achieving energy security in both developed and developing economies. A significant part of the discussion will focus on the geopolitical dynamics that influence the stability of global energy markets. The stability of major oil-producing countries and regions directly impacts global oil prices and, consequently, the cost of energy. The session will also explore how fluctuations in oil prices, due to factors such as political unrest, OPEC decisions, and global economic shifts, can lead to supply disruptions and price volatility, threatening energy security.
