Women in Energy, Asia (WIEA) was delighted to host an exclusive conversation with Martin Houston, Vice Chairman of Tellurian Inc, where Martin shared with us his perspectives on the current energy markets and the new strategies to manage the energy transition.
Climate change has accelerated the research on new energy sources and technologies forcing energy companies to dramatically review both their short term and long term strategies to adjust to new evolving paradigms. What may the energy landscape look like in 5, 10 or 20 years? How to adjust to the fast-paced energy transition? What are the disruptions? What will the jobs in energy look like in the near future? Will oil and gas remain major sources of energy? How can energy companies best navigate the turbulent waters of today's energy transition?
At this event, attendees heard from Martin Houston, an internationally respected energy veteran who has successfully led energy players through similarly turbulent times.
