Aramco president and CEO, Amin Nasser, drew attention to unrealistic global energy narratives during the opening of the International Petroleum Technology Conference (IPTC), held at the Dhahran Expo in Dammam. Nasser described the current narratives as “risky,” because they mask the reality, which shows clearly that all forms of energy are needed for a robust and realistic global energy transition. This lack of realism is unhelpful as it makes it difficult for countries to take prudent energy-related investment decisions.
