Insiders debate how to secure America’s future energy needs at the industry’s biggest gathering

  • Energy executives, policymakers and thousands of others gathered this week in Houston for the annual CERAWeek by S&P Global energy conference.
  • The industry is at an inflection point as Russia’s war on Ukraine — and the subsequent spike in oil and gas prices — raises questions over energy security and the energy transition.
  • In a sector that has felt vilified amid the surge in ESG investing and pointed comments from the Biden administration, conference goers said oil and gas companies need to be part of the transition.
  • “I actually feel very proud to work for an oil and gas company … we’re providing energy for the people,” said one conference attendee.
