World Energies Summit 2026 Brings Together Global Leaders to Debate What Drives Upstream Investment Flows

In 2026, E&P capital doesn't flow to the countries with the biggest reserves - it follows those with the clearest strategies.

That's the reality shaping upstream investment decisions right now, and it's the subject of a pivotal session on our agenda: why some governments are winning capital and others are watching it walk right past.

Our international panel members share their own perspectives, alongside an in-depth look at the Ecuadorian experience and a frank executive briefing on what investors actually want from governments today.

Hear from...
🌎 Scott Tessier - CEO, Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Energy Regulator
🌍 Torgeir Stordal - Director General, Norwegian Offshore Directorate
🌍 John Underhill - Interdisciplinary Director for Energy Transition, University of Aberdeen
🌏 Assylbek Jakiyev - Chairman, PetroCouncil.kz
🌍 Carlo Mcleod - Presidential Special Advisor, Namibian Presidency
