In the second episode of our new podcast series Tides of Transformation: An Oil Story, produced in partnership with the Fraying Ties? project, Gavin Bridge from Durham University and Alexander Dodge from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology are joined by Keith Myers, the former President of Westwood Global Energy Group and an ex-BP exploration geologist, and Chatham House’s Dr Valerie Marcel, for a conversation about who owns oil, and the implications of this for the energy transition. Our panelists also explore the history of current ownership structures in the North Sea; how these compare to other oil producing nations; and, how these structures – themselves the result of historic government policy – stymie policymakers’ influence in the North Sea today.
Other contributors Nana de Graaff, an Associate Professor in International Relations at the Department of Political Science and Public Administration at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam
