Cleantech is expected to remain a dominant investment theme among oil majors as sustainability and ESG become more prominent features of company strategies.
Roughly a decade ago, oil and gas majors began launching corporate venture funds dedicated to nudging innovation in clean energy.
While the original goal was to outsource R&D efforts, achieve operational efficiencies and improve profitability, these venture funds have helped oil majors navigate the challenges of a broader energy transition and achieve ESG goals, Samuel Dibble, partner at Baker Botts, told Hart Energy.

In this exclusive video interview, Diamondback Energy CFO Kaes Vanât Hof talks about the growing sustainable operations of oil and gas companies in the Permian Basin.
As ESG-focused activism continues to gain momentum, there is increasing pressure on oil and gas companies from investors to focus on ESG goals. But even though social and governance are an important part of the ESG movement, investors are more concerned about the environmental performance of oil and gas companies, according to Kaes Vanât Hof, CFO and executive vice president of business development of Diamondback Energy.
âWhen we talk about ESG, I think the âSâ and âGâ are important, but for oil and gas, itâs really about your environmental performance that drives a lot of the investor demand,â Vanât Hof said in an exclusive interview with Hart Energyâs Faiza Rizvi.

James Curry, managing shareholder in Babst Calland's Washington, D.C. office, says the topics of hydrogen and carbon capture in the energy sector are qualitatively different this time around.
Every 10 years or so, people get excited about the potential for hydrogen and carbon capture utilization and sequestration. Most of the time, the conversations sizzle out and the industry gets back to what it is comfortable doing. This time, however, James Curry, energy attorney and managing shareholder of Babst Calland's Washington, D.C. office, says the conversations seem much different.
He recently sat down with Hart Energy's Len Vermillion in the firm's Pittsburgh headquarters for a frank discussion on the energy transition, including the role of pipelines, hydrogen and CCS in the future energy mix.

With 2021 soon coming to a close and commodity prices having stabilized, the theme of the oil and gas industry can be described as cautious optimism.
Shareholder focus, new investment options as well as the experience with the last downturn has given U.S. shale producers a different perspective this time around, according to Amy Chronis, vice chair, U.S. oil, gas and chemicals leader, Deloitte.
âThey are now pivoting toward a new math, maximizing free cash flows from hydrocarbons, investing in the decarbonization of hydrocarbons, new energies and certainly very aware of all the stakeholder pressure,â Chronis said.
Joined by Kate Hardin, executive director for the Deloitte Research Center for Energy & Industrials, Chronis recently spoke with Hart Energyâs Brian Walzel about Deloitteâs 2022 outlook for the oil and gas industry including the five key trends that the firm believes will likely influence the industry over the next 12 months.

The new world order of the oil and gas industry surrounds a low-carbon and/or new energy focused business model. And, as capital allocation for these projects grew significantly in 2021, this implies favorable economics for low-carbon producers in 2022.
Nicholas Fulford, the senior director of energy transition for petroleum consulting firm GaffneyCline, said net-zero commitments from all supermajors and most NOCs paired the introduction of new tax credit incentives indicates a new horizon for oil and gas portfolios going into 2022.
âWeâve seen carbon capture and CCUS projects come to age and there is a real following now within the investment community and a real belief in that technology going forward,â Fulford said.

Even though oil and gas companies are increasingly focusing on reducing the environmental impact of their operations with aggressive efforts centered on the narrative of energy transition, they arenât going to move away from fossil fuels, at least over the next few decades, according to Dr. Jerry Bailey, director of Petroteq Energy and former president of Exxon Arabian Gulf.
âOil companies are not going to move from oil, thatâs what got them where they are,â Bailey said in a recent interview with Hart Energyâs Faiza Rizvi.
âOil companies have an important and lucrative niche in this regard. There is no reason to transition away from that. There are enough companies working in the other arenas that can cover those types of things,â he said, referring to renewable energy.

With increasing pressure to fight climate change, scientists and leaders agree that carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS) is a cost-effective solution to meet emissions goals made under the Paris Agreement.
Although aggressive efforts are needed to meet the net-zero goal, oil and gas companies are making significant progress in deploying CCUS projects at scale, according to JP Brisson, partner at Latham & Watkinsâ law firm.
âMore than 30 [CCUS] projects are in operation globally with more than 40 under development,â Brisson said in a video interview with Hart Energyâs Faiza Rizvi, adding that U.S. oil and gas companies are well-positioned to make progress in the area.
âThere are several reasons for this,â he said. âFirst of all, U.S. is a leader in CO2 injection and sequestration. Companies in the U.S. have been injecting CO2 since the 1970s, which builds credible extensive capability.â

As the Biden administration in the U.S. and governments throughout the world decarbonization push has spurred a renewable boom, which has created both obstacles and opportunities for the oil and gas space.
With a large amount of capital flowing into the renewables space, the energy industry has responded in a number of different ways, according to Cliff Vrielink, partner in Sidley Austinâs energy practice group.
âOf course, some of the larger supermajors have developed other strategies and are also investing in the renewables space but for the most part I think the industry has been focused on trying to reduce their carbon footprint,â Vrielink told Hart Energyâs Emily Patsy.
