It is for others to judge the value of the plenary forums at the EAGE Annual in Madrid. The discussions were intended to share insights into a wide range of issues affecting the energy and related industry communities and drew on the views of high-level decision-makers and analysts. Offered here are the impressions, doubtless fallible, of the moderator (your Crosstalk correspondent) who was charged with steering four very different groups of panellists through a sequence of related topics. An overview of energy challenges was followed by a review of the oil and gas industry in the energy transition era, then emerging low carbon subsurface solutions and finally a look at opportunities for geoscientists and engineers as the mining/minerals business ramps up to meet demand for materials needed to support energy transition.
