Hello and welcome to the latest issue of Energy, Oil & Gas. This month, our features section brings you a report by Guillaume Borrel on well resurrection, and the growing role of dormant wells in energy security strategies. This sits alongside Richard Kluth’ s discussion of new technology around fire safety, and Alan Dunne’ s view on how gas can be used to close the gap between net zero ambitions and grid stability.
These stories all speak to a wider trend shaping the sector this year: as energy security and grid resilience take center stage, operators are turning to digitalization, operational efficiency, and strategic repositioning to navigate an increasingly volatile landscape. At the same time, the push to balance net zero ambitions with reliable supply continues to shape investment and strategy across the industry.
