Norway's Aker Energy has again delayed submission of a development plan for its Pecan offshore field to Ghana's government.

The conversation is changing, but whether oil companies can leverage the energy crisis to a greater voice in the transition remains to be seen.

QatarEnergy’s choice of partners for its North Field Expansion is broadly in line with industry expectations, despite the absence of Asian firms expected to join the project’s first and largest phase. TotalEnergies, Exxon Mobil and Shell each received a greater equity stake in the larger expansion project than other partners, further underscoring the importance of Qatar’s existing relationships. For Qatar’s European joint venture partners, additional LNG equity capacity augments gas-centric transition strategies, while US firms get additional resource base diversification.
