Dear reader,
In a world shaped by shifting markets, evolving policies, and technological leaps, the economics of energy remains at the heart of global progress. The interplay between supply and demand, investment and innovation, and stability and transition is more dynamic than ever. As we present this third edition of SandRose Magazine, we delve into the forces shaping energy economics and finance, exploring the realities of today and the opportunities of tomorrow.
This issue features exclusive interviews with two distinguished experts at the forefront of the energy sector: Mr. Rakesh Jaggi, President of Digital & Integration at SLB, and Dr. Sara Vakhshouri, Founder and President of SVB Energy. Through their insights, we uncover the critical role of digital transformation, the evolving energy mix, the narratives that shape the energy transition, and the financial mechanisms that underpin the industry’s future. Their perspectives provide a lens into the complexities of global energy markets and the strategies required to navigate them.
Beyond these conversations, we are also delighted to bring you a curated selection of technical articles, industry analyses, and thought-provoking contributions from professionals across the energy spectrum. From investment trends and policy frameworks to technological disruptions and risk management, our contributors examine the intricate web that connects energy production, economics, and sustainability.
As always, SandRose is a product of collaboration and shared knowledge. I extend my sincere gratitude to our contributors, whose expertise and dedication enrich every page of this publication. To our sponsors, editors, and readers: your engagement fuels our commitment to delivering valuable insights and fostering meaningful discussions within the energy community.
I hope you find this edition both informative and inspiring. We welcome your perspectives, feedback, and ideas as we continue to explore the ever-evolving landscape of energy.
