Knowledge Hub

As the energy industry enters 2026, it stands at a clear turning point. Market volatility, energy security pressures, and the drive to decarbonize are reshaping how subsurface resources are understood and developed. At the same time, advances in cloud collaboration, artificial intelligence, and integrated workflows are opening new possibilities for geoscientists and engineers. In this context, partnership is no longer optional, it is essential.

In Partnering for Success: Collaborations to Advance the Energy Industry, S&P Global Energy explores how cross disciplinary cooperation, shared technology platforms, and new business models are redefining value creation across the energy lifecycle. As Knowledge Partner of the 87th EAGE Annual Conference and Exhibition, taking place from 8 to 11 June 2026 in Aberdeen, UK, S&P Global Energy highlights how collaboration across operators, service companies, technology providers, startups, and academia is accelerating innovation in both conventional and low carbon energy pathways.

This report outlines why trust, openness, and aligned incentives are becoming the foundation for progress. By working together across disciplines, borders, and energy systems, the geoscience community is strengthening its ability to deliver smarter decisions, manage risk, and support a more resilient and responsible energy future.

The report is available for event attendees at several display points throughout the conference venue and can also be accessed online via the Download button below.
