Defining Major Oil and Gas Companies’ Development Strategies in the Era of Energy Transition

The energy market today is turbulent. Nations follow different energy trends and shape their policies towards Energy Transition and sustainable development. To avoid risks and pursue opportunities, oil and gas companies must adapt their longterm strategies to macro-trends and national regulations.Th...
