Imperatives for sustainable industrial development: The KSA case
The industrial sector has always been the backbone of strong nations and a key development focus for humanity. Today, complex innovations are catapulting the industrial sector to new heights. The task at hand is to ensure that the sector maintains its pace in a sustainable manner, creating a balance between economic growth, environmental care, and social well-being. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) showcases a country that has the opportunity to lead by example.
Upscaling digital pilots in oil and gas
The oil and gas sector has been applying cutting-edge technologies and digital solutions for years but failed to tap the full potential of digital. Companies have been able to sustain these inefficiencies during the period of high oil prices. However, with the increasing market pressures, they must better utilize the available digital applications to remain competitive. Moreover, the COVID-19 crisis is changing the sector, with oil prices plummeting to lows not seen since 1998, forcing oil and gas companies to further accelerate the incorporation of digital solutions.

Lebanon has officially embarked on its oil & gas journey following the signature of the Exploration and Production Agreement (EPA), and declared its entry into the club of oil nations. With its limited national experience in managing an oil & gas (O&G) sector, what should Lebanon’s strategy be in the coming years to enable active and, most importantly, successful national participation in the O&G upstream sector?
