Can You Be an Oil CEO and Be Serious About Sustainability?

from Leadership Next · host Fortune

When Vicki Hollub was named CEO of Occidental Petroleum in 2016, she became the first woman to lead a major oil and gas company. In the years since she's brokered some big acquisitions, brought on Warren Buffett as a major investor and produced record returns for shareholders. But the savvy Leadership Next listener wants to know: can you do all of that AND truly care about sustainability? Hollub says not only is it possible, it's essential that energy companies focus on their climate impact. In today's episode, recorded live at Deloitte University in Dallas, Texas, Hollub tells hosts Alan Murray and Ellen McGirt all about OXY's plans to build out a carbon capture business and why this makes strategic sense for the company. Also in today's episode: details on how the controversial deal to buy Andarko Petroleum came to pass, how employee expectations around the CEO role have changed, and why Hollub never thought she would become CEO.

Managing Next Generation Energy Systems Cambridge University Background Stakeholders working with energy systems have to make complex decisions formulated from risk-based assessments about the future. The move towards more renewables in our energy systems complicates matters even further, requiring the development of an integrated power grid and continuous and steady transformation of the UK power system. Network flows must be managed reliably under uncertain demands, uncertain supply, emerging network technologies and possible failures and, further, prices in related markets can be highly volatile. Mathematicians working with engineers and economists, can make significant contributions to address such issues, by helping to develop fit-for-purpose models for next generation energy systems. These interdisciplinary approaches are looking to address a range of associated problems, including modelling, prediction, simulation, control, market and mechanism design and optimisation.
