Independent oil explorers struggle to go green | Financial Times

Independent oil explorers struggle to go green | Financial Times:

As UK oil and gas executives queued to get through security at the National Museum of Scotland in central Edinburgh last month, environment campaigners chanted: “How do you sleep at night?”.

The oil majors have long been targets for climate change activists but the lively protests at the industry dinner attended by many smaller explorers were also a reminder for companies such as Premier Oil and Tullow that more attention is coming their way.

For the “independents”, questions around climate change and the shift to low carbon energy generation — which have been a key feature of every big energy conference this year — are even more uncomfortable given they are specialist exploration and production companies.
