In this episode.Our host, Stuart Broadley, is joined by Mark Davis, CEO and co-founder of Capterio, for an in-depth conversation about the global challenge of methane gas flaring and the economic opportunities behind reducing wasted energy. Drawing on his experience at Shell, McKinsey and Intertek, Mark explains why flaring represents a major market failure in the energy industry, with billions of pounds worth of natural gas wasted every year despite growing global demand for reliable energy. The discussion explores the relationship between flaring, methane emissions and decarbonisation, and why tackling the problem requires more than technology alone.Mark also introduces FlareIntel, Capterio’s satellite-based platform, which uses data from NASA and NOAA satellites to track gas flaring across the world, giving companies and countries greater visibility of their operations and helping identify opportunities to capture wasted gas. The conversation examines why progress has been slower than expected despite industry commitments and regulatory initiatives, and explores the commercial, legal and financial barriers preventing projects from moving forward. From Libya and North Africa to global LNG facilities, they discuss how better data, investment and collaboration can unlock projects that improve operational performance, strengthen energy security and reduce emissions.At the heart of the conversation is a compelling question: why is so much valuable energy still being wasted when capturing it could also make commercial sense? Mark shares insights from successful flare-capture projects around the world, explaining the importance of aligning incentives, creating effective regulatory frameworks and mobilising capital.

In this episode.Our host, Stuart Broadley, is joined by Brock Falkenhagen, Vice President of FULKRUM, and Muhammad Tayyab Javed, Regional Manager for the Middle East and Caspian, for a conversation on people-first leadership, international expansion and the changing opportunities across the global energy supply chain. They explain how FULKRUM has built its business around a distinctive company culture, prioritising talent, inclusivity and long-term career development to differentiate itself in a competitive market. From cross-border mentoring and employee engagement to developing future leaders, they share how investing in people has helped the company double in size over the past three years.The discussion explores FULKRUM’s growth across the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar and Iraq, and the importance of local partnerships, regulatory compliance and workforce development in establishing a lasting presence in the region. Against the backdrop of geopolitical conflict and project delays, Brock and Tayyab discuss how the business has navigated uncertainty, supported its teams and identified opportunities in markets including Brazil, Nigeria and Namibia. They also examine FULKRUM’s diversification into asset integrity management and infrastructure, alongside its ambitions to expand further in Asia and China.At the heart of the conversation is the connection between culture, resilience and sustainable growth. The guests reflect on the importance of staying committed to regional markets through challenging periods, building trust with clients and developing local talent. With energy demand continuing to rise and new projects moving towards investment decisions, they share why they remain optimistic about the Middle East’s long-term prospects and how a people-centred approach can help businesses adapt, diversify and grow.What Is the EIC? The Energy Industries Council (EIC) is one of the world’s largest energy trade associations.

This podcast episode is brought to you by ADIPEC, the world's largest energy event, taking place in Abu Dhabi from 2-5 November. As demand rises and global energy markets evolve, ADIPEC 2026 brings together governments, industry, investors and technology leaders to accelerate investment, advance technology and build the partnerships needed to meet today's energy needs while building a more resilient system for tomorrow. Discover more at adipec.com.In this episode.Our host, Stuart Broadley, is joined by Chris Hudson, President of DMG Events, for a wide-ranging conversation on the evolution of ADIPEC, the changing global energy landscape and the role of major industry events in bringing together the people, investment and technologies needed to meet growing energy demand. Drawing on more than 30 years in the events industry, Chris reflects on ADIPEC’s journey from a small, technically focused oil and gas exhibition to one of the world’s largest energy gatherings, and explains how its success depends on creating meaningful connections and delivering measurable value for participants.The discussion explores how geopolitical instability, energy security concerns and shifting global supply chains are reshaping the industry, and why energy events must increasingly encompass everything from oil and gas and LNG to renewables, hydrogen, nuclear power, digitalisation and AI. Chris shares insights into ADIPEC’s international reach, its relationships with industry leaders and policymakers, and its growing role in connecting governments, investors, technology providers and industrial energy users. He also discusses the challenge of organising a major global event amid regional conflict, and why resilience, collaboration and adaptability have been essential to maintaining momentum and growing participation.At the heart of the conversation is the changing purpose of the energy industry itself: delivering more energy to more people while making it affordable, reliable and progressively lower in emissions. Chris reflects on leadership through uncertainty, the importance of investing in people and long-term relationships, and how events such as ADIPEC can help turn global challenges into opportunities for innovation, investment and collaboration.What Is the EIC? The Energy Industries Council (EIC) is one of the world’s largest energy trade associations.
