Oil and Gas Investor Magazine - January 2021

The U.S. oil and gas industry is under extreme pressure by capital providers, stakeholders and elected officials to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and to show compliance to globally accepted climate change goals. In Oil and Gas Investor's cover story, senior editor Darren Barbee explores the question, can a hydrocarbon-producing company win in this scenario?
