“…The COVID‐19 pandemic was widely viewed as an opportunity to harness the disruption of conventional energy sources and promote decarbonization but may also have deepened the gulf between leaders and laggards in the global energy transition (Quitzow et al, 2021; Shao et al, 2022). As a result, the double shocks of the pandemic and fiscal stimuli in low‐carbon sectors increase the difficulty in the operation of O&G companies, but they seem to have been overwhelmed by the current concerns with energy security.…”

Oil and gas (O&G) companies, as key players in the contemporary global energy landscape, have evolved within the context of a dynamic interaction between states and markets. However, their role is being transformed radically by two successive “global shifts”: economic globalization—driving energy demand growth patterns—and climate change—driving energy system transformation and decarbonization, both of which require them to reconsider their business strategies. Using an interdisciplinary lens that draws on human geography, strategy and international business, and international political economy, we propose an integrated conceptual framework for two periods—the 1990s–early 2010s and the post‐Paris Agreement era—to explore the nature of strategic responses by O&G companies to these global economic and environmental shifts. We illustrate the linkage of O&G companies' two strategies of (re‐)globalization and decarbonization by the aspects of production, finance, and knowledge as internal structures. Energy security is one of the priorities in the macro external environment. It is becoming increasingly difficult for O&G companies to deal with current dilemmas: climate goals require a significant reduction in fossil fuel production and consumption, and pressures from governments, nongovernmental organizations, and investors threaten the long‐term survival of O&G companies, while fossil fuel demand will remain high in the short to medium term. At the same time, the post‐pandemic recovery and Russia's war in Ukraine are resulting in a re‐assessment of the benefits of unfettered globalization. Therefore, global O&G companies face dual challenges in the new era of (re‐)globalization and decarbonization and need to make changes to ensure their future viability.This article is categorized under: The Carbon Economy and Climate Mitigation > Decarbonizing Energy and/or Reducing Demand

“…This significant disturbance to the mining sectors can have important cascading impacts on the global economy and environment through the globalized supply chains. Furthermore, finding low-carbon pathways to address the ecological crisis while promoting economic recovery is necessary to achieve the targets specified in the Paris Climate Agreement ( IAP, 2020 ; Shan et al, 2020 ; Shao et al, 2022 ). Following the pandemic, global and science-based solutions and green recovery strategies on the supply side of the metal mining sector will also need to be devised and implemented.…”

“…The input-output (IO) model has been widely used for disaster impact analysis, which is a tool for measuring the effects of sudden external shocks on the economy ( Koks and Thissen, 2016 ; Okuyama and Santos, 2014 ). The IO model is used to assess the economic impacts of any sectoral supply change through the linkage across countries embodied in the input-output table ( Rocco et al, 2020 ; Shao et al, 2022 ). Some scholars have used this method to carry out related studies at the global ( Lenzen et al, 2020 ), national ( Cottafava et al, 2022 ), and regional levels ( Dyason et al, 2021 ).…”
