Panel Discussion: Is This the Start of a Supercycle?
Tuesday, 28 September 9:35 - 10:25 BST 3:35 - 4:25 CDT 16:35 - 17:25 SGT
* Commodity markets are rallying in 2021 as the green shoots of global economic
recovery burst through. Green stimulus packages by major economies including
the EU, UK, and US promise sustained investment in low carbon technology and
infrastructure.
* How will the changing energy market drive commodity demand and prices? Is
there sufficient supply to meet growing energy needs through the transition?
* Is a supercycle just about metals like copper, nickel, and cobalt needed for
electrification? What is the outlook for oil and gas over the next two
decades?

BERNARD LOONEY
Chief Executive Officer
bp
Bernard Looney was appointed chief executive officer in February 2020. He
previously ran bp’s Upstream business from April 2016 and has been a member of
the company’s executive management team since November 2010. As chief executive,
Upstream, Bernard was responsible for bp’s oil and gas exploration, development
and production activities worldwide. The Upstream segment included some 17,000
people operating across almost 30 countries producing around 2.6 million barrels
equivalent of oil and gas a day. In this role, Bernard oversaw improvements in
both process and personal safety performances and production grew by 20%. There
were also significant improvements in both gender and global diversity. Bernard
initiated a group-wide dialogue on mental health in hope of ‘ending the stigma’
associated with the issue – a subject he remains passionate about today. He led
access into new countries, high-graded the portfolio and created innovative new
business models. Bernard also encouraged bp to lead on methane detection methods
as well as driving sustainable emissions reductions of almost 3 million tonnes
CO2 equivalent over two years. In earlier Upstream executive roles, he was
responsible for all bp-operated oil and gas production worldwide and for all
bp’s drilling and major project activity. He led the creation of central
drilling and projects functions following the Deepwater Horizon accident.
Bernard joined bp in 1991 as a drilling engineer and worked in operational roles
in the North Sea, Vietnam and the Gulf of Mexico, including as drilling engineer
on the discovery of the giant Thunder Horse field. After a period in bp Alaska,
he became head of the group CEO's office, working directly for bp CEO’s Lord
Browne and then Tony Hayward. An Irish citizen, Bernard grew up in County Kerry
and in 1991 gained a degree in Electrical Engineering from University College
Dublin. In 2005, he gained a MS in Management from Stanford Graduate School of
Business. Bernard is a fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, a fellow of
the Energy Institute and is also a mentor in the FTSE 100 Cross-Company
Mentoring Executive Programme. He was elected a director of Rosneft in June
2020.
