Question 10725 — energy and fuels

Summary

Mr. Nicolas Démoulin draws the attention of the Minister of State, Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition, to the place of the hydrocarbon industry in the energy transition. In May 2018, the Minister announced the gradual end of hydrocarbon exploitation. However, the exploitation of these energies represents sixty-four active oil and gas fields including the players in the exploration and production are mainly French VSEs or SMEs. These same companies offer services in many fields: geosciences, drilling, geophysics, civil engineering, water and waste management, security, etc. At the same time, the turnover of the French oil-related sector, achieved for more than 90% abroad, ranks it as the second largest exporter in the world, tied with Norway and the United Kingdom, with a high level technology and research and development programs. This turnover is estimated at around 35 billion euros and brings together around 65,000 jobs throughout the country. Today, the energy transition aims to prepare for “the post-oil era” and establish a sustainable energy model. In addition, the law sets medium-term objectives to reduce primary energy consumption of fossil fuels by 30% in 2030. compared to the 2012 reference. This is why he questions the place of the hydrocarbon industry and the place of this French know-how, which today is exported and employs 65,000 people, in the necessary energy transition.
