Overview of the findings

The global oil and gas industry has entered the year with renewed optimism.

Despite great oil price volatility in 2018, DNV GL’s research, conducted with FT Longitude, shows that the sector appears confident in its ability to better cope with market instability and long-term lower oil and gas prices. In fact, confidence has surged from 32% in 2017 to 76%.

This highlights the importance of resilience: after a difficult period, investment in the industry is expected to grow in 2019, all of this despite the current energy transition – a major but necessary, disruption expected in the future – that is now well underway.

Campaign elements

“Our work with FT Longitude provides an excellent platform to position DNV GL as an authoritative commentator on oil and gas industry trends. This allows us to generate high-quality global media coverage, valuable conference speaking slots and robust opportunities for relationship-building with key customers.”
