The oil and gas sector is adapting to oil prices at half their recent peak, reshaping the economics of offshore and onshore production, shale extraction and fracking. The mining sector is also responding to rising costs and global concerns about its environmental impact.
The energy sector is responding to the climate change agenda by reducing carbon emissions and continuing to invest in established renewable technologies, such as solar and wind, as well as emerging technologies, including tidal and wave energy.
This changing landscape requires businesses to rethink their organisational structures and the mix of skills they need.
