Talk Title: "Geoscience Insights Shaping the Future of Energy: The Outlook for 2026"
Speaker: Rachael Moreland, S&P Global Commodity Insights
As the upstream sector enters a pivotal phase of technological acceleration and portfolio recalibration, geoscience is reasserting its role at the center of value creation. This year’s session provides a forward-looking assessment of the influences that will shape exploration and production activity in 2026. We will also explore opportunities for geoscience expertise in near adjacent energy segments. The talk examines emerging geoscience-driven trends, from advanced subsurface imaging and AI-enabled prospect evaluation to basin-scale carbon storage potential and the resurgence of exploration “green shoots” in advantaged basins. Attendees will gain a data-grounded perspective on capital flows, regulatory shifts, geoscience innovation, and the evolving risk/reward balance across North America and key international regions. The session will highlight how geoscientists can play a more strategic role in optimizing resources, lowering development emissions, and enabling a more resilient, technology-powered E&P future.
