SPECIAL REPORT
North America Energy Capital Assembly: Key Takeaways 2023
Published 11 December 2023
We are delighted to present the North America Energy Capital Assembly 2023 Key Takeaways Report, a comprehensive summary of insights from our assembly in Houston (October 2023). The report is divided into two part, with the first entitled, “Fuelling Future Growth: Upstream E&P Finance and Investment Panel Insights,” providing expert insights on investment themes, fundraising trends, and M&A activity in the sector. The second section, “Oil and Gas Companies of the Future: Thriving in a Low-Carbon Economy,” focuses on key discussions regarding the impact of upcoming methane regulation and scaling decarbonization technology.
Taking key findings from panel discussions with the likes of Chevron, bp, Hess, Chesapeake, Delek US, Fieldstone Partners, American Century Investments, Pickering Energy Partners, Wincoram Asset Management, and many more, this report provides a concise overview of the themes and trends raised from the 2023 assembly, which welcomed senior leaders from across the energy value chain, and offers valuable foresight into forthcoming regional developments.
Here's a sneak peak of what to expect…
One of the biggest impediments to public consolidation is the lack of investor alignment with entrenched management teams and boards. Quality management teams are essential for maximizing value, creating cross-basin operating platforms (as exemplified by the practices of EOG, Devon, and Civitas), and facilitating successful transactions.
Historically, long-term debt was typically secured closer to project completion (1-2 years prior). However, it is now being obtained concurrently with the FID, with 4+ years left until construction. This approach reduces uncertainty and accelerates the likelihood of financing for LNG projects, exemplified by Chesapeake Energy’s 15 year deal with Vitol.
Innovative decarbonization technologies often fail to transition from conception to commercialization due to start-up teams failing to collaborate and deliver results. The evolution of technology from early stage to piloting to commercialization requires a customized and tailored approach in order to be successful.
The North America Energy Capital Assembly will be returning to Houston on October 16 – 17, 2024. Click below to find out more about the assembly and how you can get involved.

Domestic gas utilization is also an area of growth, which is increasingly being taken up by indigenous players such as Seplat. Marginal field opportunities will also grow. read more
