Transition risk and credit ratings of O&G companies
This event is free to NCAC-USAEE members
A special request - please do not quote Mr. Speer without requesting his explicit permission. PowerPoint will be posted at NCAC-USAEE.
Energy transition raises new business risks for the oil and gas industry because it will affect how demand for its products evolves over the next 10-20 years. While these risks have not been the primary driver of specific rating actions to date, Moody’s expects the credit impact of energy transition to grow in importance in the medium term. This presentation will cover how energy transition informs Moody’s views on the industry, including National Oil companies, what it portends for oil prices, how it could affect access to and cost of capital, and how Moody’s assesses companies’ relative positioning for carbon transition risk.
Registration will close on the prior day, and registrants will receive a link with Zoom credentials. Members may access the PowerPoint afterward by logging into www.ncac-usaee.org with your credentials.
