Central to PRAGMA’s London Launch was a highly relevant panel discussion tackling the evolving role of oil and gas in the UK’s energy landscape.
At the centre of the night was a powerful discussion focused on debunking the myths that surround the oil and gas industry, and on defining its role in the future energy mix, particularly in the United Kingdom.
Held at the iconic Marylebone Cricket Club, the event welcomed over 200 industry leaders and reinforced one of PRAGMA’s core pillars: Advocacy & Education.
The expert panel featured:
- Martin Copeland, Chief Financial Officer at Serica Energy plc
- Natalie Coupar, Communications Director at Offshore Energies UK (OEUK)
- Russell Borthwick, Chief Executive at Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce
Together, they addressed the growing gap between public perception and sector realities - tackling energy security, emissions targets, policy uncertainty, and the broader economic importance of the industry.
“We can’t talk about the future of energy without talking about oil and gas. And we can’t shape that future without telling the truth about the industry’s role in it.”
As the sector faces increasing scrutiny and evolving expectations, PRAGMA remains committed to supporting informed, forward-looking dialogue.
We invite you to watch the full panel discussion and join the conversation shaping the future of energy.
