S&P Global hosted CERAWeek is one of the world’s premier energy events. The significant players from the world over will be in attendance March 6-10, 2023, in Houston. Speakers include CEO of Oil and Gas majors including ExxonMobil, Chevron, Oxy, Shell, Saudi Aramco and Total. There will also be key political speakers including the US Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm. This year’s theme is “Navigating a Turbulent World: Energy, Climate and Security”.

The global energy industry is facing a welter of uncertainty and change — driven by the effects of the global pandemic; shifting geopolitics and a war launched by one of the world’s major energy powers; high energy prices; supply chain and infrastructure constraints; and economic instability.
One would expect a continuation of the topics of dominating the energy world; shale, OPEC, Russia and technology in a time geopolitical and economic uncertainty.
CERAWeek begins Monday 6 March with the opening address: new perspectives, new strategies.
8:50am – 9:15am (CST) THEME: Competitive Landscape, Technology and Innovation
CHAIR: Daniel Yergin S&P Global and SPEAKER: Mike Wirth Chevron Corporation
