SPE Live Podcast: Value, Volatility, and the Transition: Commercial and Reservoir Strategies for 2026

Energy companies continue to navigate a complex landscape where value creation, volatility management and low- carbon transition must advance in parallel. This SPE Live unites commercial, finance, and reservoir expertise to examine how to allocate capital across conventional barrels, unconventionals, and low-carbon options such as CCS while navigating commodity volatility and policy shifts. The speakers will explore how subsurface insight informs commercial decisions and how finance teams price risk and option value. The discussion will address portfolio resilience, emissions intensity targets, and pathways to finance CCS. Panelists will also discuss metrics that matter at the board level in 2025 and into 2026, how local geopolitical and fiscal contexts shape decisions, and the collaboration models that help unlock value across operators, midstream, and NOCs. Moderated by Maryse Jackman, Geoscientist at the Ministry of Energy and Energy Industries Speakers: Amanda Calleberg, Commercial Advisor at Inter Pipeline Ltd. Natan Battisti, VP of Finance at Harbour Energy Mohamed Mahmoud Abdelrahman, Senior Reservoir Engineer at ADNOC Onshore
