Oil and Gas and Energy Transition Strategic Leadership Group

Overview

The Oil and Gas Industry Leadership Group (ILG) was created to bring together key figures from the private and public sectors to provide a strategic forum for discussion and to ensure partnership, collaboration and alignment between different parts of the industry.

The group was refreshed in late 2017 to reflect the oil and gas sector’s Vision 2035 strategy, and to shrink the membership to allow for more focused discussion, becoming the Oil and Gas and Energy Transition Strategic Leadership Group.

The SLG’s focus is twofold:

• reflect an increasing focus on the new industrial and supply chain opportunities which the energy transition represents for the sector – through leadership and skills development, technological innovation, the development of Hydrogen and the establishment of CCUS in Scotland
• take forward a role in monitoring and challenge the industry’s progress to Roadmap 2035, recognizing that the sector continues to play a key role in the transition to a net zero emissions economy
