Session: Energy Diversity: Reliability, Sustainability, and the Case for an Integrated Approach

As the investment community evolves, we are seeing a new focus that looks beyond the bottom line. Shareholder value is now more than just a dollar figure and realigns value with values. The oil and natural gas industry has a prominent role to play in meeting these values while still helping investors plan for their financial futures. We will hear from industry and financial leaders about reaching these investors through environmental, social, and governance updates and how to better tell the story of Colorado’s leading advancements and regulations.

2022 Panelist Profile | Q&A with Jenny

What are you looking forward to at this year’s Energy Summit (aside from your session)?
I’m looking forward to hearing from Colorado’s Oil and Gas industry about the current state of the industry and where they see the industry in the next few years.

What made you decide to join us at this 34th Annual Energy Summit conference to participate on this panel?
I enjoy engaging in conversations around energy with diverse colleagues in the industry.

Why do you think your panel topic is critical in the oil and natural gas industry at this time?
Now is the time for the energy industry to collaborate openly and humbly. Solutions to our current climate disruption will not happen overnight; engaging in discussion about logistics and realities of transitioning from a fossil fuel dominated energy space to a net zero energy future is the first step towards solutions.

Any great books or binge-worthy shows to recommend?
