Energy sustainability will be at the top of the agenda of the Wednesday high-level roundtable, with European Commissioner for Energy Kadri Simson expected to be among panelists speaking on the so-called trilemma of energy sustainability, which includes such aspects as energy security, energy affordability and the need to reduce carbon emissions. Other participants of the roundtable include Patrick Pouyanne, the CEO of French oil major TotalEnergies, Amin Nasser, the head of Saudi Arabian energy giant Aramco, and Mohamed Hamel, the secretary general of the Gas Exporting Countries Forum, an intergovernmental organization based in Doha.

Angolan Petroleum Minister Diamantino Pedro Azevedo will take part in the session, among other prominent officials. The organization has canceled accreditation for the seminar for reporters from Reuters, Bloomberg and The Wall Street Journal. It is the second time that reporters from the three news organizations have been excluded from an OPEC event after the journalists were not invited to OPEC+ ministerial meetings in early June. The event is taking place as two of the biggest oil exporters in the world — Russia and Saudi Arabia — have decided to extend their voluntary oil production cuts to August in an effort to boost prices. Riyadh announced on Monday that it would slash 1 million barrels per day (bpd), while Moscow followed suit with a 500,000 bpd cut. Algeria has also joined with a 20,000 bpd decrease in August.
