Summary

While most industries have had enough to manage with Covid-19, the oil and gas sector has had to manage the pandemic, along with a fierce price war between Russia and Saudi Arabia and broader existential questions about its identity in the face of the energy transition. In this conversation between Iain Cooper, a nearly 30 year veteran of multinational oil field services company Schlumberger and current CEO of drone gas emissions inspection startup SeekOps, and BSV investor John Mannes, we discuss how each facet of the oil & gas industry has been impacted by Covid-19 and unpack the impact of these macro shocks on technology adoption.
