The Age of Disruption in Oil & Gas

sponsored by:

 
Our beloved oil & gas industry has always been buffeted by macro and micro forces and we’re no strangers to crises, real or imaginary. However, the rhetoric around “Disruption” continues to escalate in the media and in industry discussions. What does 2018 and beyond portend for our industry? We’re seeing new threats, and old ones are gaining momentum. The constant march of environmentalism, new substitute technologies, and shifts in the global supply curve continue to challenge the prosperity of our industry. How should oil & gas executives, managers, and technologists think about this nexus of issues? In his discussion, Sean Ebert, Partner at Altira Group, a Denver-based oil & gas venture capital firm, provides a framework to assess the myths and complex challenges facing the energy industry today, providing a perspective on how we are addressing “Disruption” head-on through continued business and cutting-edge digital innovation.
