The change in global economic changes in global economic power. power suggests an increase in energy demand in other markets where production of energy resources does not occur. This fact drives O&G companies to pursue opportunities in emerging markets, where the degree of associated risk and the complexity involved in executing projects is higher.

In light of these trends, the challenge for the O&G sector will On the one hand, there are ageing populations in developed be to provide the conditions and tools needed to maintain countries.2 On the other hand, populations in developing the motivation and commitment of employees. There is also countries have a higher proportion of young people. another relevant change: the progressive presence of As a result, in mature economies, the more senior workers women in the sector, workforce and senior management of will have to develop new skills and know-how to face the O&G companies. This trend has been gaining greater new challenges of the sector, as well as having to continue notoriety, with workforces heading towards a position of to work for longer.

In addition, the industrialisation of the urban 2050), an increase in energy demand is expected, namely centres in these markets will also lead to an increase in of electricity, oil and gas, which will create the basis for demand for natural gas and electricity, to meet changes in global energy demand. The rapid economic production needs. growth of emerging countries will lead to a change in their consumption habits, as well as their transport and mobility needs. Climate change and 4 scarcity of resources It is estimated that global greenhouse gas emissions Climate change and scarcity of resources, combined with (GHGs),4 from the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas), geopolitical and environmental factors, may lead to an will increase by 16% until 2030.

On the other hand, population growth and the expansion of consumption will impact on the environment, causing disputes over resources such as energy, water or food, with a sharp increase in demand for natural resources expected until 2030.

Several studies show exploration of non-conventional hydrocarbon sources a direct correlation between the rapid growth and (e.g. oil and shale gas); the demand for digital applications expansion of a company and a performance of excellence and new solutions in order to monitor operations remotely in terms of innovation. In the O&G sector, the focus is on the (e.g. use of drones); the development of technologies and innovation of processes, products, services and business low-carbon solutions (e.g. production of renewable models, in order to minimise costs and maximise resources, sustainable mobility, SMART solutions, opportunities. In this regard, the diversification of the energy eciency projects), among others. business portfolio, the development of new products and the partnerships with the scientific-technological system, are at the top of the agenda.
